new Photo app - how can I merge albums

I often want to merge several new albums with older albums. How can this be done? in iPhoto one could drag one album on another or select merge albums from the menu.

If you want to merge Album A into Album B do the following:

open the sidebar with the Option+Command+S key combination.
with the two albums visible in the sidebar click on A.
select all of the photos in A.
drag them onto the Album B icon in the sidebar to add them to B.
verify all of the photos are in B.
delete A from the sidebar.

This solved my problem, thanks. Crashed twice, but it works.
