You should consider using 'dcommit' instead of this command.
Commit specified commit or tree objects to SVN. This relies on
your imported fetch data being up-to-date. This makes

This can be used to join arbitrary git branches to remotes/git-svn
on new commits where the tree object is equivalent.

Originally, git-svn recommended that the remotes/git-svn branch be

+If you use 'git-svn set-tree A..B' to commit several diffs and you do not
have the latest remotes/git-svn merged into my-branch, you should use
'git rebase' to update your work branch instead of 'git pull'. 'pull'
can cause non-linear history to be flattened when committing into SVN,
