This kind of feature is important because the current method is either to pick and choose which one to overwrite, or overwrite all of them.

A middle ground, where the user has the option to overwrite older files.

A preferred method, similar to Windows, is to show a list of similarly-named files from source and destination, and compare their sizes and modified dates.
