I dont think you can add the local repository as a remote (I am assuming 
that local repo is a git-svn repo from before the conversion) as the 
history is different. The history needs to be the same so git can 
reasonable tell which commits need to be rebased.

Are you saying that the sm branch in [1] is out of date and you would 
rather use what you have locally?
