git checkout local-branch-you-want-to-fix
git reset --hard name-of-your-git-svn-branch  (probably trunk, or
<prefix>/trunk, if you setup git-svn with the --prefix=<prefix>/
option).

This will wipe out anything you have in local-branch-you-want-to-fix,
and reset it to the same state that name-of-your-git-svn-branch is in.
