Re: Can someone confirm what the contents of refs/heads/master means?

So, I overwrote refs/heads/master with the contents of refs/remotes/

Things seem to be working; git svn dcommit commits to the trunk and
git svn rebase updates from svn's trunk.

So, I want to make sure that refs/heads/master actuall does, in fact,
point to the head revision of whatever branch is considered "master".

I do believe so, yes. That, or an entry in packed-refs.

Can someone comfirm this (or provide the actual explanation if I'm
wrong?)

Overwriting internal files by hand feels a little too much like work
for my taste. I would have done something more like "git reset --hard
trunk" (or, if not on master, "git branch -D master; git branch master
trunk" ), but of course you can feel free to do things the hard way if
you prefer. :-)
