git-svn dcommit

fails with:
Committing to file:///usr/local/src/TM/svn-tst/7720-svn/trunk/swp ...
Commit da783cce390ce013b19f1d308ea6813269c6a6b5
has no parent commit, and therefore nothing to diff against.
You should be working from a repository originally created by git-svn

Using filter-branch helps, but git-svn isn't too happy:

git-svn init  file:///usr/local/src/TM/svn-tst/7720-svn/trunk/swp 
git-svn fetch
git branch svn remotes/git-svn
#make remotes/git-svn parent to the initial commit in my git tree
graftid=`git-show-ref -s svn`
echo da783cce390ce013b19f1d308ea6813269c6a6b5 $graftid > .git/info/grafts
#da783... is the initial commit in my git tree.
git filter-branch $graftid..HEAD
git-svn dcommit

Now I get alot of complaints, but it commits to svn.
It takes forever though:
r3 = 55a489bd4f66dd1f641a4676359d7b8911dc7d83 (git-svn)
W: HEAD and refs/remotes/git-svn differ, using rebase:
:100644 100644 f85ae11af7715a224015582724cb2bab87ec914a

I haven't used filter-branch myself, but you probably need to remove all
.rev_db* files in $GIT_DIR after running it (git-svn can recreate them
unless you use the svmRevProps or noMetadata options.

Just wanted to add that 1.5.2.2 works with grafts and 
that I suspect sub read_commit_parents in git-svn, but as I don't
do perl I am stuck.

Crap, it looks like I completely forgot about the existence
of grafts while doing this function.

Oh, Eric W. CC:ed as well this time

Thanks.
