Is this true from the SVN book...
"In Subversion 1.5, once a --reintegrate merge is done from branch to
trunk, the branch is no longer usable for further work. It's not able
to correctly absorb new trunk changes, nor can it be properly
reintegrated to trunk again. For this reason, if you want to keep
working on your feature branch, we recommend destroying it and then
re-creating it from the trunk"
So once you reintegrate that means the branch is dead (which means you
must merge everything back in one go and start a new branch)?
