If you mean to suppress the visibility of space/tab differences, disable "Show 
White Space" in the "Merge"-Menu.

For directory-synching there exist two options to help you in the 
Configure-dialog under "Directory Merge":
- "Copy newer files instead of merging" (When comparing a directory the 
default choice for the destination is the newer file.)
- "Synchronize directories": No separate destination directory needed. 
Depending on the merge operation, writing will be done into either 
source-directory or both.
