Ok, that I'm getting. So then, what happen of my local
refs/heads/<branchname> and refs/heads/master/ ? I'm still a bit
confused by the whole branch mecanism... It's my understanding than when
I cg-init, it creates both "master" (a head without matching branch)
and "origin" (a branch  + a head) both having the same sha1. It also
checks out the tree.

Now, when I cg-update origin, what happens exactly ? I mean, I know it's
pulls all objects, then get the master from the remote pointed by the
origin branch, but then, I suppose it updates both my local "origin" and
my local "master" pointer, right ? I mean, they are always in sync ? Or
is this related to what branch my current checkout is tracking ?
