dcommit expects to be run on a git-svn fetch-ed HEAD that is linear

does no checking for root commits, but it should.

This commit is missing the git-svn-id: line at the bottom.  If you
simply left it out (private svn repository info), can you check that the
URL in this line is actually for the SVN repository you want to commit
to?

I didn't remove anything, but I did double-check and the URL is correct. But the following may shed light on why there is no git-svn-id anywhere: IIRC, this is how my current repository came to be (from the very beginning): 1.) Way back when, before I even started on the project, it started life as a CVS repository
2.)  Was converted from CVS -> SVN in early '05 (pre-git)
3.) I converted from SVN->git in Nov/Dec '05 (using git-svnimport. I'm not sure git-svn was available at the time.) 4.) The svn repository is still around, and I need to interoperate with the svn repository on occasion. I read about the new (at the time) 'git-svn', and decided to give it a try.
5.)  I start with my pre-existing git repository, running:

  git svn init <url>
  git svn fetch
  git checkout -b master svn
  git rebase remotes/git-svn

It seems like your usage of dcommit would actually cause the issue
you're experiencing to be triggered on the dummy repository, and not the
real one.  My other guess would be that you somehow merged commits from
your dummy svn repo into your master branch.

I need to work on being more clear; sorry about that. Here's what I did with my 'dummy' repository
1. create a new (empty) svn repository
2. imported it into a new git repository using git-svn
3. added a few files that were just sitting in $HOME, then modified them, removed some, added others, etc. (using both git-svn and subversion) 4. verified everything was working as I expected it to. (and if not, figure out why I was wrong).

My 'dummy' repo was imported using git-svn.
My 'real' repo was imported using git-svnimport.

Having not read any of the code, I'm just taking a wild guess; but is it reasonable to say that since the repository was originally imported to git using git-svnimport (rather than git-svn), git-svn doesn't have some of the data it needs to push to the remote svn repo?

Would it be reasonable to use git-svn to import the SVN repository into a new git repo, and then rebase from the old git-svnimport'ed repo into the new git-svn imported one? (did that even make sense?!?)
