... The "reality" is more like this:

     origin/master in your repository
     |
     v
     A---B---C master at origin
    /
   D---E---F---G master in your repository

if you really want to write origin/master somewhere in this
illustration.
Actually, I kind of like that. After just reading the existing
phrasing in git-pull.txt, I doubt that a newbie would catch the
difference between "origin/master" and "master at origin". With this
illustration, it's very clearly conveyed that there is a difference.
Yeah, after re-reading the part of the documentation with the
illustration replaced with the above, I was coming to the same
conclusion.
