I use:

  git fetch -p origin
  git update-ref refs/remotes/git-svn origin/master
  git svn rebase -l

instead of changing the svn-remote.svn.fetch setting, but I think both will work.

I don't think 'git checkout master' is needed in the update script. In fact, I often use the above script to rebase arbitrary branches onto trunk.
