I don't think git-svn has any way of knowing that the user wanted a
merge, unless a merge commit is present. So the user would have to
specify the set of commits which should be considered a merge during
dcommit (this would actually resemble how merges are performed in
subversion).

Sidenote: this might be slightly controversial, but I've sometimes
missed a --no-ff option to 'git merge' when working on plain git
repositories; IMHO preserving the 'logical' merge history when the
merge of a topic branch results in a fast-forward can be interesting.
