Ah, I missed that you wanted to update svnbranch. I don't think there's
a single command that will do that, but this should work:
git rebase --onto svnbranch publishedToSvn master^0
git checkout -B svnbranch HEAD
This uses a detached head to avoid modifying the wrong branch and then
updates "svnbranch" to point at that after the rebase.

No it will checkout that branch first.
