 HOWTO Merge Folder Trees (...using the command line)
 There comes a time when you need to do this sort of thing and the Finder’s default behavior (which is to completely replace folder contents, rather than merge them as in Windows) just gets in the way.
 Regardless of the reasons for this behavior and its counter-intuitiveness for those not accustomed to the UNIX way, it’s sometimes necessary to merge two folder trees with the minimum of fuss, and there are three ways to do it:

 # The standard UNIX way
 cp -R -v source/. destination
 # The geeky UNIX way (restartable)
 rsync -vaEW source/ destination
 # The OSX "easy" way
 ditto -V source destination
