Comment (by tangobravo):
I was going to suggest something similar to that proposed by Ingo. Having
a single prompt sounds best. Instead of arbitrary-depth tree view, it
could just have two levels, with folders on the highest level name
"destination/sub/folder" or something. Perhaps do away with the expand
button too, just give those rows a different background colour and make
the keep/replace checkboxes affect all of their children items. I guess
the problem then is whether to also affect subfolders, hmm maybe a full
tree is best...
The problem with continuing to copy the rest is that the user might decide
to change the entire operation - ie append "-copy" onto the destination
folder name or something rather than have to deal with the conflicts.
I think it's important not to get too carried away with the potential
options here - Tracker.NewFS presented far too many choices in this
situation. Maybe the best thing is to come up with the most flexible thing
we can, and then have a round of simplification after that.
