Hi Aaron,

You need to do "git svn init $URL" from "git svn fetch" (the latter
does not take URL arguments)

   git --git-dir test.git --bare init --shared=true

   git --git-dir test.git svn init $options $URL

   git --git-dir test.git svn fetch

I haven't used bare repositories much with git svn, but apparently
it still works fine.

On a side note, "--git-dir $foo" really clutters up the command-line for
me, I guess I'm old-fashioned and prefer using the GIT_DIR environment
variable.
