You want git fetch. Git pull also updates the working copy, which you don't have.
Also, git clone --bare doesn't set up the origin configuration, and I
have to do it by hand:
git config remote.origin.url "$url"
git config remote.origin.fetch "+refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*"
As for keeping clones up to date, I include a script I use daily for that purpose.
