If you have lots of aliases in your ~/.gitconfig referencing origin/master, it can be quite annoying that git-svn provides only a remotes/trunk reference.
To fix this, from the top-level directory of your working copy:
cd .git/refs/remotes
cat trunk # notice that trunk is just a plain file containing the hash reference of a certain commit
mkdir origin
ln -s ../trunk origin/master # create a symbolic link from origin/master to trunk
Tadaa, that's it. You can now reference origin/master and it will always stay up-to-date with whatever trunk is referencing!
