Dear list,

I searched the list(s) and even read the code of git-svn, but I am
none the wiser now. From what I understand, git-svn is primarily
used to interact with subversion, rather than doing one-shot imports
(which it can do as well).

I am using it now and it works like a charm (thanks!). However,
I cannot really figure out how to tag the remote trunk from within
git-svn. I tried `git tag tags/1.2.57`, `git tag 1.2.57` and `git
branch tags/1.2.57`, but in none of the three cases does dcommit
think that it needs to push anything upstream.

Is what I am trying to do possible, or do I need to use svn for
that?

git-svn doesn't currently know how to create new tags/patches.  It's
been requested but I haven't had much time or desire to implement it,
patches accepted :)

I just use "svn cp url1 url2", but I agree having git-svn automatically
know about that branch would be nice.
