I just reproduced this one in a live repository. Here's what you do:

$ git checkout -b breakme trunk $ vi file1.txt $ git-commit -a -m 'first change' $ vi file2.txt $ git-commit -a -m 'second change' ..... Full moon, become a werewolf ...... C:\svnrepo> edit file2.txt C:\svnrepo> svn commit -m 'this will be gone' ..... Become yourself again .... $ git svn fetch --all # (not sure if this is necessary) $ git svn dcommit $ git log -p

The change to file2 by your hairier, fanged self will be gone. The critical thing is that you must dcommit *multiple* commits, and the first one can't be the conflicting file, otherwise it will stop. At the time the first commit of the dcommit has gone through, git-svn now thinks it's all up-to-date.
