  2. I reintegrate the branch to the trunk.

    With SVN the only problem you might run into is that when merging the mergeinfo property of the merge point (folder or file depending on the level where the merge was made) will contain the branch name and revision numbers of previous merges. I don’t think that SVN actually uses this information when merging, but it becomes confusing sometimes as a user.

    If you don’t care about this then it should work fine … but I know in previous projects we used mergeinfo as an indication of what branches we had merged back into trunk, so re-using a branch name would be dangerous.
