My company uses Subversion for their SCM.  I'd like to start using git  
on my dev box to eventually show how useful it is.  We're working on a  
new deploy process that involves merging changes into an svn branch.   
I have a feeling this will be accomplished much more easily with Git,  
however I also know our team will not take kindly to switching SCM  
products at the moment.  I couldn't find this in the documentation,  
but is is possible to use git-svn to merge changes from a git  
repository into a particular Subversion branch?

Thanks all!

I'll take that as a no? :-)

You can either use SVN-specific tools, namely svn merge or svnmerge,
or GIT-specific tools, namely git merge, git rebase or git cherry
pick.  If you choose the latter, once done you can simply git-svn
dcommit your changes.
