Re: Multiple branches and git-svn

After having had several embarrassing occurences with git-svn dcommit,
I think it would not be amiss to mention in the docs just how git-svn
happens to figure out which Subversion remote it is associated with.

One surprising relevation was that this association changed after a
git-rebase.

It may be a general git thing, or it may be git-svn specific, but it
was not exactly what I expected.  And the docs were not really that
helpful.

In particular, man git-svn is completely silent about this.

What I do usually is that I look in git log until I see a git-svn-id  
line:
git-svn-id: https://svn.foo.com/svn/project/branches/bar@<rev-SVN>  
<Repository UUID>
AFAIK git-svn dcommit will commit in the branch specified in the last  
git-svn-id.  I also dcommitted in the wrong branch after a rebase  
because I imported commits from another branch and the topmost commit  
in git-log was "pointing to" a different branch.

I hope this helps.
