svn merges with reintegrate confusion

From: Z W <mpc8250_at_gmail.com>

Hi All

We are using 1.6 SVN.
We like to svn merge from our branch A to trunk.
We have been diligent in svn merge from trunk to A.
These svn merges from trunk to branch A also include --record-only merges
too, in addition to regular merges.
Development on branch A has stopped.
Now we like to merge branch A to trunk using --reintegrate option.
But we dont know what to expect if using this option fails on us.

1) Suppose svn merge --reintegrate fails on us on a working copy that has
all the mergeinfo list information.
Could we perform a clean co of branch A into another working copy and then
perform svn merge --reintegrate to trunk there ?
Will we get more conflicts simply because the new working copy doesnt have
the mergeinfo list like the first working copy of branch A ?
Will this plan B work ?

2) How do we resolve conflicts during svn merge --reintegrate process ?
Would you share the steps for us to make the merge go smoothly ?

Any help is appreciated.
Sincerely
