First to clarify... I am not an expert in the current state of the merge
tracking dev effort in 1.5. Just an interested observer who has been
lurking and listening and trying to understand what is happening.

There is a big long discussion thread on the dev list which, amongst
other things, tries to clarify these differences.

The following link jumps you to the middle of the discussion where
someone tries to summarize the difference between the "-reintegrate" and
"issue 2897" use cases for merge tracking:

Hope this is helpful.
