Which revision do you intend to block, precisely? I think you eventually want to merge into the branch the revision that added the first line to the file on trunk. But that is not the same revision as the one that committed the result of the reintegrate merge. So in this example it's perfectly fine to block the reintegration revision from being merged into the branch, isn't it?
