Couldn't find any bugtracker for git so I supposed it would be ok to post the bug here. # Situation: I usually start my projects with git as it's quick and simple to track modifications. If the code grows and is of any interest for my work I push it to the corporate svn. I usually use this tutorial (http://eikke.com/importing-a-git-tree-into-a-subversion-repository/) which makes it a simple thing to do. Some time ago I started having a first empty commit in my git repository using 'git commit --allow-empty' as I read (can't remember where) it could help for some cases. I don't have need for those edge cases yet but remember thinking I could need them in the future. # Problem: When your first git commit is empty, git-svn fails with the following message : $ git svn dcommit Committing to https://svn/repo/trunk ...

Hope this can help getting a better git-svn!!
