Surely, it must be time for some nemo documentation of gsettings. |

What does this patch do?
This patch adds a gsettings option that automatically chooses the "Merge" action during file conflicts involving only directories. It does not have a corresponding UI element in Preferences.
What problem does this solve?
Currently, when a copied or moved directory already exists, Nemo always prompts the user to choose how to resolve the conflict. Users who routinely merge directory trees currently need to confirm the "Merge" action every time a directory conflict occurs. This setting allows those users to opt into automatically selecting the merge action.
Does it change existing behavior?
No. The default remains exactly the same. Only users who explicitly enable the setting see different behavior.
Why a gsettings key?
A gsettings option was chosen so that existing behavior remains unchanged while allowing users who prefer automatic directory merging to opt in.
Why no UI element?
This patch intentionally adds only the underlying gsettings key. Whether it should be exposed through the Preferences dialog is a separate UI decision, so this change keeps the implementation focused and leaves that discussion open.
