Because you aren't working from a branch-point older than your current refs/remotes/git-svn. I suppose one could misinterpret that as a bidirectional "no changes". Still, the message doesn't contain a scary prefix like "Error:" or even "Warning:". It's just informational. >> Resetting to the latest refs/remotes/git-svn > > That doesn't sound good. =A0Why did it have reset? Because the newly created svn commits are a different DAG from your former DAG (which contained git commits that weren't in svn yet), even though the tree contents are the same. The way git-svn tells the rest of git about this change is by running the "git reset" command. You can run "gitk" before you run "git svn dcommit", then hit refresh (F5, I believe) after "git svn dcommit" is done to get a more visual idea of what is going on. Peter Harris
