Good point about breaking fingers twice.  I don't think 'commit'
accurately describes any current operation that git-svn does; so the
command can probably go away safely.  I'm guessing that something along
the lines of 'push' is probably a better way to describe 'dcommit'.

I plan on supporting remotes in the config file; and adding support for
svn in git-fetch (wrapping git-svn multi-fetch, which should get faster
by then)
