Ok, I see my mistake - I had created the branch in SVN (using external
means, since git svn branch doesn't use an HTTP proxy), had failed to
fetch and then rebase my work onto remotes/<branch> and do the commit
from there. If I had done that, it would have worked as expected.

Thanks for your help.
