Documentation: clarify branch creation
The documentation seems to assume that the starting point for a new
branch is the tip of an existing (ordinary) branch, but that is not
the most common case. More often, "git branch" is used to begin
a branch from a remote-tracking branch, a tag, or an interesting
commit (e.g. origin/pu^2). Clarify the language so it can apply
to these cases. Thanks to Sean Estabrooks for the wording.
Also add a pointer to the user's manual for the bewildered.
