Merge FOLDERS content into DEST. Existing files and folders will remain. It does
not overwrite by default. Empty folders are ignored. The resulting hierarchy is:

  DEST/FOLDER1/<folder1data>
  DEST/FOLDER2/<folder2data>
  ...

Options:
  -f: Overwrite destination.
  -r: Remove empty folders.

WARNING: Do not use over filenames with newlines.
