pre-dcommit hook for 'git svn dcommit' ?

Hello.

There is no way to set a hook before 'git svn dcommit', similarly with
pre-commit hook. I could use SVN hooks instead, but I have no rights to tune the
SVN server (and it would also mean that my hooks would be applied to all SVN
commits).

Any better idea than a pre-svn-dcommit hook ?

Thanks,

Fred

For the sake of the discussion : I read some proposals for workaround my
problem.  It involves an intermediate bare repository.  I push to this bare
repo, and using pre-receive hook, I can perform any check I want.  Then, with
update hook may trigger a git svn dcommit.  However, I now have another
problem to solve : how to trigger a 'git svn rebase' on my intermediate repo,
when I 'git pull' from my working repo ?  Unless we considder adding a
'pre-fetch' hook, I will have to write a script to do it all at once.

It looks pretty ugly to me.  The pre_svn_dcommit hook still looks like a more
elegan solution.

Any comment is welcome.
