I don't know yet. Cogito will certainly *recognize* them for *long* time ahead (many months to be sure), no matter what will we decide to do with them. Of course Cogito would start being growingly critical about them.

But the best technical solution is probably to stop using remote branches in the heads namespace in new repositories altogether and strictly create a new [remote] per each repository you fetch from (no matter if it's a single branch or all of them or just a set), and there will be cg-remote-add and perhaps cg-remote-chg to help you maintain that easily.
