I think I've found a flaw in my plan. Now that the repo is bare I can't get any changes from upstream. I run 'git --bare svn fetch' and that works, but then I have no way to rebase those changes into a local branch because I don't have a working copy. Is there a way to see a remote repo's remotes, and merge/rebase from there?
