Q: Synchronizing two Branches in SVN without reintegration I have Feature Branch of my trunk. At first, I was rebasing my Feature Branch with the trunk by simply merging the changes down to the branch. I did the reintegration by a merge --reintegrate. The branch then was dead and everything fine.
Now, I have a different requirement. The branch shall not die and it should also periodically be integrated back into the trunk.
So, what I do is, I merge from the Feature Branch into trunk and then record merge only this revision back to the Feature Branch to prevent it from beeing merged another time when I rebase.
My question is now how to do the Rebase? Is it same way? Which means I have to merge the changes from the trunk into Feature Branch and the record the merge only back to trunk? Or is it even unneccesary to do a record merge?
Yes, I know this isn't really the way, Subversion is designed for but currently I need to it.
Thanks in advance!

A: I'm not sure what you mean by rebasing in the - there is no such thing built into svn that compares to eg the git rebase procedure. 
However, if you use a fairly recent version of svn (1.8+ is definitely sufficient, with 1.7+ you would have to check), branches never have to die, and you also do not have to make record-only merges (the --reintegrate flag is also obsolete). Just do a normal merge from trunk to branch and vice versa if you want to synchronize between the two. Svn will take care of the rest for you under the hood. You can also keep your branch alive and continue to merge changes in both directions indefinitely.
