It would be useful to be able to overwrite/copy recursively the selected folder contents in the compare editor.

The actions to allow the copy/overwrite of the selected folder from one side to another could be the same to those used for copying all-non conflicting changes when a file is selected.

The recursive copy would delete, update and add recursively any files inside the copied folder.

I think we would want to have a few options here:
1) for a two-way compare, we would want to support an Overwrite from left to right and from right to left.
2) for three way, we would want to support the overwrite and a merge

Lowering the priority and removing the target milestone to better match the reality.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
