Hi Boaz, thanks for tracking this down.  The following patch should
fix your issue (and another potential one I noticed).

I've lightly tested it and it appears to work for me.

Subject: [PATCH] git-svn: fix dcommit to urls with embedded usernames

Don't rely on the extracted URL from working_head_info since
that has the username removed.  Instead use the $gs->full_url
method (as before with ba24e7457aa1f958370bbb67dfb97e3ec806fd4a)
to give us the URL to commit to if --commit-url is not
specified.

Aditionally, since we clean usernames from URLs, checking the
URL after rebase can fail because it doesn't match the URL we
used to commit; so unconditionally provide a username-free
URL for checking the result of the refetch.
