# description: A script which wraps some magic modes for merging folder trees around Copy-Item. There is ‘no overwrite’ or keep newest version, don’t copy empty folders and some options to control the logging of the operation. It is intended run with PowerShell V2 and V3. I intend to blog about it after intense testing on http://pauerschell.blogspot.de/
