You really should check out the interactive rebase. It's awesome, once
you use it right.

But as Guillaume says, don't try to rebase your first commit.

Guillaume - you shouldn't have needed that, ever. Worst case, you
would've had to drop your local branch and create a new one. Or did
you try to do the rebase on the *svn* branch? You should never to it
on that one - only on your local branches.
