reintegrate isn't for maintenance branches, it's for feature branches.
But yeah, I do think at the very least it's worth changing the API to
separate the read-only information gathering from "actually do the
merge", which would be a pre-1.5.0 issue. (We could then relax the
constraint itself inside the svn client in a patch release, perhaps.)
I don't have a strong feeling about how this should affect RC release.
