Thanks for noticing!
This is actually a bug in the docs and the name of the context menu.
The menu should actually say "Merge all..." instead of "Merge
reintegrate...".
Also, it's purpose is to merge all changes from trunk into a feature
branch, bringing the feature branch up to date with the trunk.

A reintegrate-merge is done via the merge dialog by simply leaving the
revisions-to-merge empty.

I'll fix the docs and the context menu.
