Hi Clifford,

Thank you for your explanations, it certainly shed some light on the issue,
and especially the GIT_SVN_ID confusion I had in my mind.

My Perl is non-existent :-)

| Another way forward would be to use git filter-branch --commit-filter
| to redefine the svn metadata (the "git-svn-id" line) in every commit
| of HEAD (or just the last sync'd commit?) and reattempt git svn
| dcommit. However, filter-branch is not yet working in msysgit. :-/

After some more googling (with better keywords) I found a post that
describes how to use git filter-branch, but as you already told me that
helper is not available in msysgit. I was desperately trying to get my local
commits into SVN, so what I did was to use a nasty hack to force git to use
the updated SVN URL. It can be found here:

Another solution might have been to use a patch, as you suggested. I'll save
that for the next time.

Thanks again!

Alex
