Suppose that I am moving a folder ~/foo inside a a folder ~/bar and there is also a folder ~/bar/foo. Then GWorkspace shows me the following dialog:

Some items have the same name; do you want to replace them?
<Only older> <Cancel> <<OK>>

If I answer OK then the folder ~/bar/foo and its contents will be completely destroyed and replaced by ~/foo.

The expected behaviour is to inform me that there are folders with same name and propose me the following options:

1. Cancel the operation
2. Destroy the target folder and replace it by the source (the current behaviour)
3. Merge both folders, i.e. copy the contents of ~/foo inside ~/bar/foo

Please, can somebody tell me what OS X does in this case? (I think that the Finder on my iMac is broken 
because copying "foo" in "bar" containg a "foo" causes a crash)
