Eric, with this patch, is a dcommit operation as safe as a regular svn
commit from an svn working copy?  That is, the commit will abort if
the svn repository has changes that your git-svn/git repo hasn't yet
seen?  I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, but I'd like to be sure :-)

I'm not Steven, but I was reproducing the bug and with Eric's patch, I
get a nice error/abort when I try to dcommit when the svn repos has
relevant changes that I have not fetched yet.

Best,
