TortoiseCVS does.  When I get conflicts, it invoked my merge utility (I use
WinMerge) and allows me to immediately correct the conflict then it gives me
the option to save or discard any changes I made before saving the resulting
file to the sandbox.  Perhaps the WinCVS developers could add something like
that.

It does this in succession for each "C" I get while merging (updating too,
IIRC, but that happens very rarely).

Also, when a file has a conflict, Tortoise will mark it with a conflict
overlay icon and add a "Resolve Conflicts" item to that file's context menu
so you can re-invoke that merge resolution later.
