It will try to re-merge, since it has no information to prevent that.
Marking revisions as merged is quite simple. though, so resolving
these cases is usually a few minutes work.

svnmerge is still using svn's underlying merge, so it shares the same
issues. Unless something hapens to the svn properties svnmerge uses to
track which merges have happened, it won't have any additional
problems dealing with large code changes.

Those can easily be handled by marking the relevant commit as already merged.
