sha1-sums for commits? or trees?  I'm not sure that I follow, git-svn
should make commits with at least two explicit parents (one being the
commit you're using and, and the other remote/git-svn) back to
remotes/git-svn.

The commit sha1s for the same svn tree do not necessary always match,
and ac7490506418e3ec495775e432b7040a17449fa9 acknowledges that:

    contrib/git-svn: allow rebuild to work on non-linear remote heads
    
    Because committing back to an SVN repository from different
    machines can result in different lineages, two different
    repositories running git-svn can result in different commit
    SHA1s (but of the same tree).  Sometimes trees that are tracked
    independently are merged together (usually via children),
    resulting in non-unique git-svn-id: lines in rev-list.

The tree sha1 should always match, however.  You can use the
--branch <refname/commit> option to do automatic branch joining
based on tree sha1 checksums to combine history.
