fetch with --all fetches from all "svn-remotes" defined in the config (it's rare to have more than one). It's roughly equivalent to:

  git remote | xargs -n1 git fetch

As far as reset behavior goes, I'll leave you and Ben to decide how/what to do since I've never used it myself (I rarely even use git svn nowadays).
