[PATCH] cg-init shouldn't create master branch when pulling

Hello!

>From what I see in the current cogito sources, ".git/refs/heads/master"

is never used once it's created by cg-init. I believe the "master" branch is only useful when creating a new repository. Then it's the only branch in the repository.

When pulling from a remote repository, the "origin" branch is created, and it should be default. There is no need in having a separate "master" branch unless the user decides to create it for local development.

This patch changes cg-init so that the "master" branch is only created when the remote URI is not specified.
