  <p>from my repository, it returns nothing and doesn't update even though there are new commits

  <p>Note the version differences.  The svn log lists 12958 and the git log lists the latest 
  svn version as 12406.</p>
  
  <p>I can do a reset to 12406 and then a new fetch:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[root]# git svn reset 12406
      r12406 = be19ae4c7d1a3c3da6dd90389aebd6d76792cc71 (refs/remotes/git-svn)
  [root]# git svn fetch
          M       src/test/java/csl/resource/ioc/AbstractResourceIocTest.java
      r12977 = 1b21f560b0354b28fe1a272d7723b1e6fa90a99c (refs/remotes/git-svn)
          M       src/test/java/csl/resource/ioc/AbstractResourceIocTest.java
      r12978 = bf22ea0151a364eb1ca1af37a7a907d5b5cc7420 (refs/remotes/git-svn)
          M       src/test/java/csl/resource/ioc/AbstractResourceIocTest.java
      r12987 = ce922c2eae07f6c12dbbd4175a9c61055b563ee3 (refs/remotes/git-svn)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And when I check the log versions, they are unchanged.</p>
  
  <p>How do I get git-svn to pull in the latest versions from svn?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I found the answer, the svn data is loaded in to an inactive thread that would normally be merged in to the active branch, which doesn't exist in a bare repository.  I tried to do a reset, but that needs an active branch too.  The final answer was:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git reset --soft refs/remotes/git-svn
