I do this:

git fetch origin
git rebase origin/trunk <branch I want to rebase>

... the above will download the latest from the central repo and then will
rebase your branch onto origin/trunk. This works especially well if you
create your branch tracking origin/trunk:

git branch mybranch origin/trunk
