What is this doing? You are telling the branch that everything in r100
on trunk has already been merged into trunk? Because if you try to merge
into branch from trunk it will try to bring in changes committed in r100
on trunk which was really the commit of your --reintegrate merge?

This is about as obvious as... well, it's NOT obvious.

Why then does the manual say to delete the branch after integration?

Is there anything in the works to no require the manual mergeinfo to be
created? I see why this is problematic because it would require the
merge to create mergeinfo in two working copies on in trunk and one on
the branch?
