Can someone help me understand the conflict-resolving procedure. This is
what happens:

I have a private branch. I merge the trunk into it:
  fossil update my-branch
  fossil merge trunk
I then get a warning about 3 merge conflicts. I go to those files and see I
have 4(!) of each. A baseline, orignal and merge versions,as well as a
single file containing all 3 versions. Not sure how to proceed, I ran
  fossil undo
  fossil fossil clean
to revert the merge and remove those extra versions of the problem files. I
figured I need a graphical merge tool. I went into the UI and set
TortoiseMerge as the gdiff and gmerge commands. I ran the merge again and
got TortoiseMerge opening up 3 times, each time with no files in it. After
closing these useless windows, I found that I still had all those extra
versions!

So, basically it is 3 questions:
1) Does TortoiseMerge not work with fossil (maybe it sends the command line
parameters wrong?)
2) How would the merge be done without a graphical diff? Would I have to
edit the file with all the combined versions (with the original name),
delete the 3 extra files, and then run `fossil commit`? Is this correct?
3) I would think that after a graphical merge program was run, the extra
files would be automatically deleted, since the conflict was resolved. This
did not seem to happen. Or did it not happen because TortoiseMerge did not
actually open the files?

Thank you!
