Update the git instructions so that git-svn and git update the same branch and the fetches are hence much faster

-If you don't fetch new revisions from Subversion very often and find fetching them one by one too slow, you can modify the svn section in your .git/config file to point directly to the '''refs/remotes/origin/master''' rather then '''refs/remotes/trunk''' which is how it is set up by default. In this case 'git svn fetch' will be way faster if done after "git fetch" or "git pull", since it'll realize it already has all the revisions locally. Edit your svn entry to look like this:
-
-{{{
-[svn-remote "svn"]
-        url = http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit
-        fetch = trunk:refs/remotes/origin/master
-}}}
-
-and then re-build the svn index by doing 'git svn fetch' once.
+Note that 'git svn fetch' will be way faster if done after "git fetch" or "git pull", since it'll realize it already has all the revisions locally.
