It should use the git protocol by default; cg-clone will make an
'origin' branch (cogito doesn't support .git/remotes/ yet) pointing to
the original source. Future 'cg-fetch' invocations default to the origin
branch.

Try using 'cg-branch-ls' to see what's on your origin branch.

cg-fetch just pulls Linus' changes to your 'origin' head. You will then
have to cg-merge the changes into your branch. You can do both at once
with cg-update. If there are conflits, then cogito will notify you.
