Arguments

x	Spatial* object
y	data.frame
by, by.x, by.y	specifications of the common columns. See 'Details' in (base) merge

all.x	logical; if TRUE, then the returned object will have all rows of x, even those that has no matching row in y. These rows will have NAs in those columns that are usually filled with values from y
