```
If I do this:

git checkout --track -b svn remotes/trunk
git checkout -b merge
git-am ../mbox
git checkout svn
#edit Makefile and commit
git-svn dcommit #Note 1
git pull . merge
git-svn dcommit

then git-svn dcommit removes the merge beteen svn and merge.
git log svn..merge shows all the commits that git-am ../mbox added.

How do I avoid this?

Note 1:
  If I skip this step then the last git-svn dcommit fails, why is that?

     Forgot to mention the error msg I get here:
Transaction is out of date: Out of date: '/trunk/board/tmcu/of-tmtu.dts'
in transaction '101-1' at /usr/bin/git-svn line 405
