You could partially workaround that feature by wrapping the
history-recalling commands with "don't recall dcommit" variants.  For
example:

% bindkey -L | grep up
bindkey "^[[A" up-line-or-history
% f() { 
  local b="$BUFFER"
  zle .up-line-or-history
  [[ $BUFFER == *dcommit* ]] && BUFFER=": : :"
}
% zle -N f f 
% bindkey '^[[A' f 

That doesn't stop you from using '!' in an input line, e.g., '!?dcommit'
would still recall the 'git svn dcommit' command.
