If I understand correctly the old rfe #675, it is more about
merging/altering of table structure as per the new table structure
perceived from the sql dump, not just update of data rows with duplicate
primary key values.
As pointed out by a comment on #675, it is similar to generating an alter
table diff (see https://sourceforge.net/p/phpmyadmin/feature-requests/246/
), but #675 would require parsing of sql dump as well.

Maybe a new feature request could be opened for ignoring or replacing the
new values on finding duplicate primary key.
