Maybe sure on git-svn's branch (eg. master).
"master" should never be pushed to "git-svn", but "git pull --rebase"
should be done.

Each clonee should do "git-svn dcommit" individually.
(and it would be happier if you did "git pull --rebase llvm.org)

Of course, other branches may be push/pull-ed among repos. It is git!

Which do you mention to, "Anton's repo" or "(coming) cloned repo from llvm.org"?
With latter, I don't think there might be any matters.
(as far as a person would never do "git push -f repo.or.cz master")

+1. Anton, please provide *official* release branches. ;)
