Have you been working on a branch other than the one that git-svn created

being able to "git svn rebase".

Branches and git-svn don't mix.
That's not exactly true: merging and git-svn don't mix.  But rebasing
works fine.

If you have a separate branch and do 'git svn rebase', then as far as
I know, the original git-svn branch(es) will get updated to the latest
version from svn, and then your current branch will be rebased on top
of it.  This is often what you want, unless you've been using 'git
merge' from that branch.  Rebasing (unless you know exactly what
you're doing) always messes up git merge.

Have fun,
