This is a fairly common way of setting up access to an svn repository, so I'm surprised to be the first one to hit this issue. > > Without the patch, you need: > commiturl = svn+ssh://hostname/svnrepo/trunk > which of course then doesn't allow you to commit to other branches. Originally --commit-url was only intended to be a command-line option and for overriding specific cases and also for dealing with permission mismatches (limited commit access to a branch, unlimited read access to the repo). Your patch breaks existing use cases, I think. I think Junio's suggestion for a pushurl config which does what you think commitUrl does would be what you're after...
