When you Fetch metadata off the web, you're doing something similar to a Merge. You have metadata on the web and it may or may not overwrite the metadata in the record. I put together a simple "do/don't overwrite author/title" control, but a more comprehensive system would let you individually control whether ISBN is overwritten during fetch, whether title, but not author is overwritten, etc.

As Charles has mentioned, Kovid has this type of system on his todo list. Once he has done the hard work, it might be relatively straight forward to adapt it for controlling Merge in addition to Fetch.
