Probably. The case I'm trying to solve is:
  -git-svn branch A is merged into git-svn branch B
  -A is a fast-forward of B

This might look unrealistic, but it happened to me today when I wanted
to merge a feature-branch into a relase-branch. The release-branch had
previously been merged into the feature-branch (to get a few
bugfixes), but the release-branch had not changed since this merge. So
when merging the feature-branch into the release-branch it just
fast-forwarded, leaving me with an 'un-dcomittable' release-branch. I
obviously could have done the merge in subversion (haha!), but doing
it in git preserves the correct history.

Btw: I have redone the merge with --no-ff, and dcommit then worked
like a charm ;-)
