Hi,

I've been following along the gcc/git thread with interest and I've used Harvey Harrison recipe

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/67253
with success on several svn repos.
One thing that I'm not sure yet if it is possible to do is this:

can I have a single central git repo that tracks the svn repo, allow several developers to use clone to copy that repo, and each one of them (after proper manual configuration) uses dcommit to push back to svn?

All the recipes so far assume that each developer has to go through the initial git-svn fetch and have a copy of the entire SVN repo, and that seems wasteful to me.

Thanks,
