(simplified, take with grain of salt:) "git pull" is short for "git fetch && git merge <tracking branch>" "git pull --rebase" is short for "git fetch && git rebase <tracking branch>" "git svn rebase" is short for "git svn fetch && git rebase <svn tracking branch>" "git svn dcommit" is short for "while (changes) { svn ci && git svn rebase }"

It's all just shortcuts for the same operations underneath. Does that help?
