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.

I would dearly love to see a bulk overwriting fetch for individual items such as series.
When I started using calibre, series fetch wasn't implemented. I made up my own names or copied them from Fantastic Fiction. I have corrected many but still have quite a mishmash I am sure.
I live in hope
