Can we push branches? The git-daemon is setup as read-only. If you have write access to the SVN repository then you can push back changes using git-svn. That's quite a nice way to work, IMHO and provides an easy path for people who are used to Subversion and want to dip their toe in the dvcs waters. While there is no support on code.python.org for publishing your own git branches, there's no reason why you couldn't publish a branch using some other host (it's a dvcs after all). In the short term, perhaps using private branches in combination with "git format-patch" and email is the easiest process.

So I have a change that I have in git. I would like to just push it to svn through git. I ran git svn dcommit, but then a ton of stuff came streaming by on my terminal. Is that normal?

Also, how does one refer to revisions for things like git diff? Is it really the commit commit number (which I think is something like a SHA-1)?
