title: GIT-SVN every attempted commit results in <file-name> needs update
body: <p>I am attempting to commit changes made locally to a remote repository using git-bash</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>git svn dcommit</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>results in </p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;filename&gt;: needs update
   update-index --refresh: command returned error: 1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tortoiseGIT installed on my machine, and if I do the commit by rightclicking my local repository and Git Commit -> Master...
  then the commit works fine.</p>
  
  <p>2 questions, is this the same as doing a git svn dcommit?</p>
  
  <p>and, why am I getting the error from teh command line?</p>
  
  <p>thanks in advance</p>
