If the file in remotes/origin looked something like: Pull: !git-svn multi-fetch trunk Push: !git-svn commit then git-fetch and git-push could treat "origin" as a "foreign" branch and indirect through these commands. Then I could just use "git-pull" naively, and it would git-fetch origin, invoking git-svn multi-fetch trunk to update it, and later I could git-push and it would use git-svn commit. This idea is half baked, but it could definitely hide the various foreign adaptors from the invocation line, allowing layered tools to use them transparently. -- Randal L.
