Thanks a big lot. Apparently, something worked, but I cannot figure out how
you got that bd785057b42734e859f64428467a673ee3c00372 SHA1 key. I thought it
would appear in the git log output.

I'm trying hard to understand how to reliably and painlessly merge trunk
into the MELT branch. I am using the git mirror
git://gcc.gnu.org/git/gcc.git but I don't understand well if I should use
only it, or also git svn dcommit (which I do use).

I also cannot figure out how to reliably get the Svn id of the trunk gotten
by Git. With svnmerge, I had the information at the beginning of
svnmerge-*.txt

Regards, and many thanks.
