Thanks Vincent for pointing out the problem with performing merges on git side then using git-svn dcommit back to SVN repo. I've investigated this further, and indeed, git-svn does not update svn:mergeinfo or any other SVN properties, so doing merges on the git side will be problematic. I will use svn merge tools going forward to prevent this from happening. Hopefully ASF will support projects moving to GIT natively.
