Using git to perform merges between SVN branches

Working out of an SVN/subversion repository. Initially cloned it so I could work with git via git-svn. I was given a branch in svn to work on. Created local branches connected to the main trunk and my branch via:

git-checkout -b local-trunk trunk git branch local-foo FOO

where svn_root/branches/FOO is where I'm to commit changes

commits work fine, etc.

What I'd like to do, for simplicity, and as a demonstration of git's superior merging, is to do the merge of my code to the main trunk using git. My main concern is not getting into a situation where I cannot commit to svn (since it doesn't track merges)

Would something like this work:

git checkout local-trunk git-svn rebase git checkout -b merge-foo local-trunk git merge local-foo # Resolve conflicts, etc. local-foo now has what should go onto SVN's trunk git checkout local-trunk git merge merge-foo # this should work without any conflicts, since I resolved them on merge-foo git-svn dcommit # Now I've merged my changes to the main trunk

Thanks,

Dave
