Oh, the docs do mention "dcommit" en passant, but nothing explicit.

Can you commit directly from branches? Or do you have to merge to
master to commit?

I agree on being explicit. I generally prefer to write small shell
scripts that will stop on unwanted situation than hope for git/svn to
be safe. From experience, neither is completely trustworthy, though I,
too, can't blame the tools without blaming myself. ;)

If you're up to writing the docs, I'd be happy to serve as the Guinea
pig to test it.

I believe that what git-svn does is commit everything in your branch
that isn't in mainline (i.e. `origin/master..HEAD`). I don't think it
really pays any attention to branches (besides moving them after
committing).

Ok. I'll try to get to that today or tomorrow and CC you on the review
thread.

As if it was an SVN tree, makes sense.
