Nope, svn seems to handle it fine.

We do not delete branches after they've been reintegrated.  Bug fix
and feature branches can get reintegrated into multiple release
branches, so it's not obvious when a branch can be deleted.  There's
already enough process overhead that it's simpler just to leave all of
the branches around.  Since this doesn't seem to affect svn's
performance, we haven't really worried about it.
