Similar to this question, how can I make an existing Git branch track a remote SVN branch?
I often find that I start work in a local branch that I then need to push to an SVN server. Is this possible?

The idea remains to push to an existing SVN branch.
Meaning you need:
git svn rebasean existing SVN branch (called here ‘git-svn-branch‘)git branch -b work# new working branchgit checkout git-svn-branchandgit svn rebase(make sure master is up-to-date)git checkout workandgit rebase git-svn-branch(replay your work on top of the git-svn branch)git checkout git-svn-branchandgit merge work(updategit-svn-branch HEADtowork HEAD)git svn dcommit(push back the git-svn branch to SVN repo, with work commits included in it)You will find that same process in this SO question.
So, in short, when you are working on a local Git branch, and you want to push it to an SVN branch, you need first to import that SVN branch to a ‘git-svn’ local branch, and then rebase/merge your local branch on it.
You cannot directly push your local Git branch on an SVN remote one.
