OK, I tried and it doesn't work with my StGIT over SVN configuration.

What I did is defining 'pull-policy' as 'fetch-rebase', 'fetchcmd' as
'git svn fetch' which doesn't create any FETCH_HEAD. The 'pullcmd' is
defined as 'git svn rebase' and it doesn't use any argument if
git.fetch_head() return None.

I also think it is better for the pull command to re-raise the
git.fetch_head exception as this one contains more detailed
information about the error (after the out.error call). It currently
shows that the remote head couldn't be found but there is the multiple
heads case raised by git.fetch_head.
