dcommit only pushes existing commits, so it will not ask for a new one.

It will push each of your commits on your local branch as a separate
commit to the svn server, and use individual commit messages for each
one. This is why you want to do an interactive rebase - so you don't
end up pushing all your minor commits out automatically.
