When 'git-svn dcommit' decides which commits it should push back
subversion, it scans the output from 'git-log --first-parent HEAD'
looking for embedded 'git-svn-id' lines. These lines contain the url

number.

So the problem with fast-forward merges of subversion branches is that 
the output from 'git-log --first-parent HEAD' will show commits from the 
wrong subversion branch (the fast-forwarded commits).

Ah, I think I know what you're trying to get at.  But "git svn fetch && 
git rebase git-svn" might be a better approach [...]

BTW, this is spelled "git svn rebase" these days.
