Yes you can reuse this branched project so long you are not deleting
it. By sending submit requests via Web-Frontend you will see a checkbox
about something like 'deleting after merge', which is enabled by default.
This behaviour is disabled by using 'osc submitrequest' via command
line. A easy way to keep in sync with original package is following setup:

1. Branch a random package from the original project.
     By this you will get the repository setup and build dependencies
     from the original project.

     e.g. osc branch Project:KDE:Devel/cmake

2. Open project home:<user>:Project:KDE:Devel via Web-Frontend
     and enable repository publishing.

     Repositories --> Publish Flag --> All --> Explicity enable

     By this you are able to install the packages directly on your test 
machine

3. Open project home:<user>:Project:KDE:Devel via Web-Frontend
     and branch the package you like to modify/maintain.

     Packages --> Branch package from other project -->
     Name of original project: Project:KDE:Devel
     Name of package in original project: calligra
     Name of branched package in target project:
********[ ] Stay on current revision, don't merge future upstream 
changes automatically

4. Open project home:<user>:Project:KDE:Devel via Web-Frontend
     and delete random package again.

     Packages --> cmake --> Delete package

By this setup you have all changes from original package plus the 
changes you are
working on. Please note, by this merge conflicts can happen you have to 
solve on
your own.

Cheers

Maurice
