What does re-creating mean?  Why can't the previously-created 2.5 branch 
simply be updated?

I ask because svn history will look a little wierd and it makes it harder for 
third parties to track revisions and do merges.

It means deleting the branch and creating a new one.

I don't really understand why this is an issue. I'm sure svn is capable
of
extracting the information that you want. I'd rather not do one giant 
merge to our existing branch which will only create more noise to 
llvm-commits.
