What is a difference in

Answer 1

reintegrate is meant to be used when you were working on a feature branch, and are done. The next step should be deleting the branch. Before reintegrating, you should merge the destination (most often trunk) to the branch using "range of revisions" merge to merge all eligible revisions to the branch. This is described slightly above the reintegrate paragraph.

The "range of revisions" merge is meant for cherry picking revisions that should go to a certain branch, for example for fixing bugs in a stable release branch.
