This can cause trouble when dcommitting back to svn. I don't remember
the exact scenario, but I managed to break some things (like
committing twice to svn) because I was not careful. It is easy to
forget getting svn references in addition to git ones, maybe this is
linked - I have not tried really hard to understand the problem to be
honest.
