Hrm. My use case is with an upstream svn repository and git-svn.
With my .git/config, remote and merge as above are empty (I guess that
is what one would use with a pure git setup).
For the git-svn case, I think what is needed is the ability to ask
git-svn about the local upstream tracking branch associated with HEAD.
Since this is information already available to git-svn rebase, I tried
adding a --dry-run option that prints out what I want. In the patch
that follows I'm not sure if I've chosen the right terminology...
