Comment (by Meanwhile):

 Replying to [comment:8 humdinger]:
 > The motivation: ATM, if you copy a folder to a location that already has
 one of that name, you can only choose between replacing the existing one
 completely or abort the operation. Therefore (1).[[BR]]
 > If you decide to merge the containing files (or files in general) it
 would be nice to have more options to deal with "clashing files".

 > Items <-> files, clashing, checksum etc. are just words I used for

 an indication that a majority supports the general direction.
