git-svners,

I often like to look at the diff of what I'm about to commit before
taking the plunge.  I'd really like an easy way to see a 'git log -p'
output of what would be committed to the central svn repository with a
dcommit.  I found --dry-run and finally made a "one-liner" that
outputs what I want, but it seems like a lot of work for something I
do quite often.  The one-liner I used is:

$> git svn dcommit --dry-run | grep -E '^diff-tree ' | cut -b 11- |
git diff-tree --stdin -p -v

Is this the real way to do it?  Do others do something similar?

Curious and looking for a better way.

-Lee
