For my workflow, that wouldn't be all that useful. I find that I accumulate a few commits locally and then send them all to svn. For this workflow, what would be useful is if dcommit could understand a command like: git svn dcommit remotes/git-svn..HEAD~2 Sometimes I realize I should have sent a stack of commits to svn, but now have some newer commits that aren't quite ready on the head of my branch. While the workaround is easy (create a new branch and dcommit from it), I think there is a usability argument in that when one sees an example like dcommit foo..bar, one expects all the other magic to work. I feel for this and accidentally committed a few commits I didn't want to send. If nothing else, perhaps git-svn could error out and say, "hey, I don't do that".
