Is there anyway to recover the lost files?

Look, Linux manages to merge directory contents just fine, so don't tell me about "core behavior of Unix."

This is bad design, period. It needs to be fixed.

*sigh* I'm very mad at this shortcoming of OS X after merging the contents of two old harddrives and losing some irreplaceable data.

Funny thing is, I can't think of a time when I've *wanted* to replace and not merge directories. Is this something users want to do?
