Re: Repairing fatal: ref HEAD is not a symbolic ref (git checkout of svn remote)

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?

git checkout whateverbranchyouwereonbefore
git svn rebase
