Let’s say I have multiple commits in my local git repository that have not been pushed to svn. For example, these four commits on master.

A <-- B <-- C <-- D

A is the oldest commit not in svn and D is the newest commit.

How do I use git svn dcommit to only push A and B to svn, but keep C and D only in my local git repository?

Alternate workflows welcome.

    I’ve been thinking about this, and have a potential solution to my own problem.

    I can create a local branch for each discrete task I’m working on. If I finish one piece of work and am waiting for a code review, I can create a new branch and start working on an independent task.

    When a given task is complete, I run git svn rebase. I then rebase my local branch on top of master, fast forward master to the head of that branch, then dcommit.

    My problem was that commits A and B were part of one task, and C and D were another independent task. C and D belong in a different branch, and never should have been committed on top of A and B.

    The answers to this question…

    git-svn dcommiting a single git commit

    Seem to indicate that only committing A and B isn’t really possible.
