I see... so still two sides of the same coin. The commit on trunk which
is the results of the --reintegrate creates a revision that branch needs
to know about for further merges from trunk and/or future
--reintegrations.
So, lets say r100 was your commit as your example showed. I record-only
that revision in the branch. Now I make more changes in the branch and
never make any more changes on the commit. There is still no problem
doing a reintegrate again? Also, if I did a merge from trunk to the
branch there is nothing to do.
