To test a particular upstream revision, on a git svn remote checkout (i.e.
branches/1.2, 76c7af2...), I checked out the equivalent of HEAD^^ (git
checkout 4a3d99c0c9).
Now back at the branch tip, I get fatal: ref HEAD is not a symbolic ref
on git svn rebase:
(4a3d99c...) $ git checkout 76c7af2
HEAD is now at 76c7af2... Minor changes to CONTRIBUTORS
(76c7af2...) $ git svn rebase
fatal: ref HEAD is not a symbolic ref Current branch HEAD is up to date.
Segmentation fault
How can I manually correct ref HEAD?
Thanks.
(The segmentation fault is a separate issue)

Thanks, and the other svn remotes are working fine. I still have the
problem on the svn remote 'branches/1.2'. The following illustrates:
(1.2_mybranch) $ git checkout 1.2
Note: moving to "1.2" which isn't a local branch
If you want to create a new branch from this checkout, you may do so
(now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:
git checkout -b <new_branch_name>

This last git svn rebase on 'branches/1.2' (whether it's correct procedure
or not for a svn remote) used to work without the error until I issued
that one command (git checkout 4a3d99c0c9).
Thanks for any suggestions.
