Hi, list!

(GIT v1.5.4.4)

When I'm doing git svn dcommit and it fails in the middle (due to SVN
pre-commit hooks or connection errors or whatever), it leaves my HEAD
rewound to the last commit it attempted to upload. I have to manually
do git reset HEAD@{whatever}. Is this behaviour intended? Is there a
more convenient way to restore my HEAD state?

Thanks in advance,
Alexander.

Is this a RTFM question? Or is it a feature? I have not found any
solutions to this problem so far, and this issue is quite annoying on
bad network. :-(

Thanks in advance,
Alexander.
