Sorry for the late replies, I've been caught up with other things.

dcommit expects to be run on a git-svn fetch-ed HEAD that is linear superset of remotes/git-svn. That is: remotes/git-svn..HEAD should (ideally) contain no merges, and no root commits. git-svn currently does no checking for root commits, but it should.

This commit is missing the git-svn-id: line at the bottom. If you simply left it out (private svn repository info), can you check that the URL in this line is actually for the SVN repository you want to commit to?

It seems like your usage of dcommit would actually cause the issue you're experiencing to be triggered on the dummy repository, and not the real one. My other guess would be that you somehow merged commits from your dummy svn repo into your master branch.
