Answer 1

Did you create submodules in your Git repo ?
This blog post seems to mention that as an issue.

As of Jan 2009 git-svn does NOT work with submodules.
There is no good way to map submodules to svn and the perl script that implements git-svn just bombs when doing git svn dcommit.

You need to go back and rewrite history.
You should be able to use git commit --amend.

$ git tag bad mywork~5
$ git checkout bad
$ # make changes here and update the index
$ git commit --amend
$ git rebase --onto HEAD bad mywork
