Would I just change the "bare" in .git/config to true? Is there anything I have to do to remove the working copy info? I plan to do this so that a co-worker and I can clone the git repo, and push our changes back to it, and maintain the "proxy" to svn from that central location. -- D.

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? -- D. Stuart Freeman Georgia Institute of Technology begin:vcard fn:D.
