You want git fetch. Git pull also updates the working copy, which you
don't have.

Also, git clone --bare doesn't set up the origin configuration, and I
have to do it by hand:
  git config remote.origin.url "$url"
  git config remote.origin.fetch "+refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*"

As for keeping clones up to date, I include a script I use daily for
that purpose.
