git-svn dcommit problem with subversion mirror

Sorry if this has already been discussed. I did not see it when I searched the archive. I love git and started using the git-svn bridge at work. I found that dcommit would sometimes stop abrubtly when dcommiting with a strange error message; sorry, I didn't save the message, but I believe the problem was cloning the svn mirror instead of the main svn repo.

I realized I was git-svn clone'ing our svn mirror instead of the main repository. Our mirror is setup so that commits have to go back to the main repo and then propogate back to the mirror, so sometimes the commit you just made to the mirror isn't immediately available. I think that tripped up git-svn. It might be helpful in the short term to make a note of that somewhere when discussing git-svn.

Also, I realize that with Git it doesn't make sense to use the mirror since there will be less interaction with the main repo.

I love the "Pro Git" book!  Great work.
