title: Git-svn merging and committing branches
body: <p>I have been using git-svn lately to manage an old svn repository through git. </p>
  
  <p>I have recently been working in a branch that i created like this:<br>
  <code>git checkout -b local-branch svn-branch</code></p>
  
  <p>I have then since been working in that branch and commiting back to the svn-branch using:<br>
  <code>git svn dcommit</code></p>
  
  <p>Now that it's time to merge the local-branch back to master i tried to do the following:<br>
  <code>git checkout master</code><br>
  <code>git merge local-branch</code>    </p>
  
  <p>So far, so good. Now i want to commit the merge back to subversion so i try this:<br>
  <code>git svn dcommit</code>    </p>
  
  <p>However, now my master is committing back to the svn-branch branch and not the trunk as i would have expected. Is there something i missed or is this kind of merging just not recommended to merge between svn branches like this?</p>
  
  <p>As a side note, i instead did the merging through svn, but i would like to avoid having to use svn as much as possible. What is the preferred way to handle this?</p>
