Okay. I think I've closed the loop, and have this updating successfully, if not necessarily easily.

Now the tricky part: I checked out a new "work" branch, and deleted everything in the working copy. Then, 4 steps out of the howto, adjusted to pull the particular branch from the current repository (instead of an outside one):

git remote add -t dojo -f dojo ./
git merge -s ours --no-commit dojo-trunk
git read-tree --prefix=dojo/ -u dojo-trunk
git commit -m "merge dojo into subdirectory"

... since I added the remotes as svn-remote sections directly in git-config, I skipped that first line.


To update, we need a local branch for each submodule:

git checkout -b dojo dojo-trunk <- create local branch and switch to it (only create it the first time through)

git svn rebase dojo-trunk <- do this to update each local branch from the remote svn repository version--must have corresponding branch checked out.

... now that we've merged the remote changes to a local branch, we can update our work branch from each module's branch:

git checkout work
git pull -s subtree ./ dojo
git pull -s subtree ./ dijit
....
