As long as you commit to the branch afterward it'll keep the
mergepoint.

That's what I do when I'm working on stuff that'll break the tree -
mergepoints handle this nicely.  Of course since the trunk and branch
are still diverging slightly this won't last forever...  We did manage
to keep two branches in sync for nearly six months with little or no
manual interventention though.
