```
Use case:

I make a bunch of git commits developing something that was checked
out from a svn repo using git-svn.  I want to commit all the changes
since my last dcommit as one revision, rather than having each git
commit checked in separately, as dcommit behaves.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
Bob Anderson

I usually do

$ git checkout -b side master
... edit, commit ...
$ git checkout master
$ git merge --no-ff side
$ git-svn dcommit

The resulting merge commit looks like a normal merge to Git (keeping
history intact), but like a squashed commit of all changes on 'side'
to SVN.

(If you made all commits on master, you can branch 'side' and hard
reset master to origin/master first.)
