A couple of use-cases that I've done in the last couple of days:

I had /home backed up over multiple CD's.  So all of them had a /home, and 
some have the same /home/username  where that directory is too big for a CD  
When I restore I need to merge all of these together.

Another use case that I did last night - I had a zip file patch for game, so I 
unzipped the file and ended up with around 4 files in different directories.  
What I wanted was to merge the directory and 4 files into the main program 
directory.  (Does this make sense? I'm not explaining very well I think)

Another one I did a few nights ago - I did:  wget http://somesite/dir1/dir2  
and burnt to a CD, took home, and copied to my machine.
The next night I did:  wget http://somesite/dir1/dir2different    and burnt 
that a took it home, and then needed to merge them.

Anyway, I don't know if I'm very typical, and I worked around my problems, but 
I would use a merge option quite a bit.
