--- Comment #4 from Marko Cupać <[email protected]> ---
I was also puzzled by new behaviour, to the point that I opened PR in FreeBSD's
bugzilla:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=242142

As Guido said, at least on FreeBSD, clicking "replace" merges folders.

I don't mind additional click to get the functionality I'm used to, although I
would prefer the possibility to configure it "old way" or "new way", something
like "do not warn when merging folders" in preferences.

What I do mind is the confusion created by using word "replace". I am not
native English speaker (although I take pride in my C2 certification), but "to
replace" sounds like "put new in place of old". It's not exact "overwrite", but
sounds more like "overwrite" than "put new to place of old, leaving old as well
if there are no conflicts".

I think prompt should offer "merge", "overwrite" and "and "cancel", and should
be opt-in in preferences.
