I agree that your suggestion would better fit my workflow too.

I'd go futher and suggest that I'd simply want to get to the merge summary 
first and review that before deciding whether I want to jump into the 
conflict resolution. I expect that the argument against this would be that 
the same result is achieved by simply cancelling the conflict resolution 
dialog. My issue with that is that it's non-obvious whether the Cancel 
button cancels the conflict resolution for all conflicted items or simply 
the first conflicted item. I believe it's the former but this isn't obvious 
(to me). This doesn't happen often (as I try to avoid these circumstances) 
so when it does, I tend not to remember exactly what the Cancel button does.

For me, I'd rather that the merge process simply displayed the merge 
result, even if there are conflicts, rather than auto-start the conflict 
resolution process. If I want to initiate conflict resolution, I can 
initiate that separately.

For backwards compatibility, perhaps this might be a merge dialog option.
