merging

I'm writing a web app, initially meant to be stand-alone--it's essentially a survey with user-management/authentication built on Codeigniter. The company I'm doing this for wants to merge it with their main system so that it acts like a feature, or a sub-app of their website.

What is the best thing for me to do? I think I could do one of two things:

Finish my application, as I had planned to initially, and let them handle the merging.It would probably save me a headache.
Stop where I am in development, and migrate my authentication system to theirs, migrate the payment system to use theirs, and then finish the app.

In your opinion, or experience, what is the best thing to do?

Tools for Maintaining Branches in SVN

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
My team uses SVN for source control. Recently, I've been working on a branch with occasional merges from the trunk and it's been a fairly annoying experience (cf.
