Re: git svn rebase problem

For some time I am using git svn to manage a local copy of a remote svn
repository.

The svn repository has no branches.

A few days ago I did an
git svn rebase

The rebase took a while and after it completed reported
fatal: bad object HEAD

git status reports
root@hp-dhlii:/usr/src/pico/git# git status
# Not currently on any branch.
fatal: bad object HEAD

and git fsck reports
root@hp-dhlii:/usr/src/pico/git# git fsck
dangling blob eb3afb4aa3aaf0003bac601a5db4fd76aafa2a87
dangling commit 5c496db25007c17c325f294bb8324097c9bc407d

How can I recover without downloading the entire repository again which
could take days?

Have you been working on a branch other than the one that git-svn created  
for you? If so, you may have to "git checkout" the original branch before  
being able to "git svn rebase".

Branches and git-svn don't mix.
