title: Subversion > Merging back into a trunk without --reintegrate?
body: <p>This is a dumb question, but it's come up at work enough that I feel like asking in order to get a 2nd opinion. You can assume we are using Subversion 1.6+.</p>
  
  <p>Here's a scenario - let's say I have a Trunk. I branch the Trunk at revision 10 to create a Branch1 and begin making my own changes to Branch1.</p>
  
  <p>Meanwhile, Branch2 is created from the Trunk at revision 30. There are several revisions made (committed) in Branch2.</p>
  
  <p>At some point, work is completed in Branch2 and its changes are merged back into the Trunk WITHOUT using --reintegrate. </p>
  
  <p>I'm still happily working away in Branch1, but I now want to make sure I have ALL of the latest changes from the Trunk and any code changes made in other branches that are merged back into the trunk (i.e. Branch2). </p>
  
  <p>The crux of the question - if I merge the Trunk into Branch1, will I see all of the changes that were merged back into the trunk from other branches, like Branch2? Should I have to merge the revisions in the Branch2 URL separately, then merge against the Trunk URL in order to guarantee I have all of the changes? </p>
