git svn imported repository using svn branches

I've cloned a replicated svn repository (svnsync to local file system). All the branches etc. are now available in git. Now i would like to start working on svn branches 

git checkout remotes/B_XYZ

and doing some commits via git. Now i want to change to a different SVN branch via

git checkout remotes/B_ABC

and doing some changes as well.

And now the final question is: Is it possible to commit the changes i made on the branches (in git) to the original Subversion repository back on the appropriate branches?

It is possible if you install SubGit into your SVN repository and use it instead of git-svn. It will create a pure Git repository (not git-svn repository!) for you such that any push to it will result into SVN commit and vice-versa (triggered by hooks). Any new branch push will create a branch in SVN, any tag push will create a tag.

The only restriction is that you should have an access to your SVN repostiory, but is seem it's exactly your case.

To do that run

$ subgit install path/to/svn/repostiory

The linked Git repository will be in path/to/svn/repostiory/.git.

After some experiments i figured out how to do the commit to the new repository which is not the replicated one.

git svn dcommit --commit-url URL/branches/BRANCHNAME

With the command above i can commit the changes i made in git into the new svn repository.
