Great! This was exactly what I wanted, thanks. I never realized that one should
do git-svn commit initial-uboot to get that single commit.
I also replaced git-svn dcommit with git-svn commit remotes/git-svn..svn-branch
as I don't have that version yet.

You should add this as an example I think.

Can I ask for an example that used multi-init and multi-fetch? I tried, but
could not make it work.

Yes, but the thing is that the rest of our product is svn based including
the build env. So I have to supply a SVN tree for build purposes and if someone
else has to do a minor fix I can't ask him to learn git first :(
