--reintegrate should be the default; if there really is any reason you would want to do a sync merge any different than --reintegrat, they could simply supply a --sync instead. --reintegrate is what you would want almost all the time anyways, except in cases where you want to cherry pick. (This is just my 2 cents - I don't consider myself a merging expert, nor do I understand why their sync math would be different than their reintegrate math) -- when I merge, I almost always want and only want the changes in the source branch, which have not yet been merged into the target branch...
