git svn rebase only fetches the revisions that are required to do the rebase, which speeds the process up quite a bit. Imagine you're working on branch "foo" and trunk is quite active. If git svn rebase would always fetch all the new revisions for trunk as well (which you might not need right now), that could become quite annoying.

If you want all remote branches/tags (incl. trunk) to be updated, use git svn fetch.
