I always send commits as:

git-svn dcommit remotes/git-svn..master

Possibly replacing master with whatever git branch I'm working on.
One nice thing about this approach is that you can sort of preview the
commit as:

  git diff remotes/git-svn..master

[but that just shows overall diffs and git-svn dcommit will apply each
commit in master separately to svn]
