This fetches revisions from the SVN parent of the current HEAD
and rebases the current (uncommitted to SVN) work against it.
This works similarly to `svn update` or 'git-pull' except that
it preserves linear history with 'git-rebase' instead of
'git-merge' for ease of dcommitting with 'git-svn'.

Running 'git merge' or 'git pull' is NOT recommended on a branch you
plan to 'dcommit' from. Subversion does not represent merges in any
reasonable or useful fashion; so users using Subversion cannot see any
merges you've made. Furthermore, if you merge or pull from a git branch
that is a mirror of an SVN branch, 'dcommit' may commit to the wrong
branch.
