[SciPy-dev] Git-svn sub-optimality

Hi David (& other prospective git-svn users),
I just ran into a speedbump with git-svn and using the Git mirror:
http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/wiki/GitMirror#Abigfatwordofwarning
In short: apparently git-svn does not automatically track SVN commits
appearing elsewhere than locally via `git-svn fetch/rebase`. So if you
want to `dcommit` after `git fetch`ing from the mirror or from someone
else, the database of git-svn needs to be rebuilt:
rm -rf .git/svn
git svn rebase -l
Otherwise, the `dcommit` will shove bogus changesets to SVN. (Ouch!)
