I'm having a problem with git-svn.  I was connecting to a remote svn
repository via the svn+ssh:// protocol using an embedded username in
the url, i.e svn+ssh://boazstuller@svn.example.com/some/complicated/path.
 When I upgraded to 1.6.0, 'git svn dcommit' stopped working and
instead kept asking me for a password.   I tracked the problem down to
the following commit:
commit ba24e7457aa1f958370bbb67dfb97e3ec806fd4a

    git-svn: add ability to specify --commit-url for dcommit

I don't know perl, but the problem seems to be where around line 446, '$gs->full_url' gets changed to '$url'. Apparently, $gs->full_url contained the embedded username but $url has it stripped out, i.e svn+ssh://svn.example.com/some/complicated/path , so ssh can't tell what username I'm trying to log in as.

Best wishes, Bo
