While git-svn is bidirectional, there are limitations when working with other
people using git:
  - After pulling from another git repository, you cannot just dcommit the
    result to the svn repository. You must rebase or cherry-pick it on top of
    your branch you use to sync with svn.
  - You loose the original authorship, as dcommit will commit it to svn as
    your own.

Disclaimer: it's been a few months I used git-svn, so things may have changed
in the mean time. Welcome to the road to heaven^H^H^H^H^H^Hgit ;-)
