user-manual: remove temporary branch entry from todo list
In the section on "How to check out a different version of a project" the "new" branch is used as a temporary branch. A detached HEAD was not used since it was a new feature introduced just a couple weeks prior. The section could be changed to use and explain a detached HEAD, except that would increase the learning curve early in the manual. Detached HEADs are discussed a couple sections later under "Examining an old version without creating a new branch". Let's declare that it is a bad idea to rewrite the example that uses a temporary branch to do the sightseeing on a detached HEAD. Signed-off-by: Stephen P.

-Simplify beginning by suggesting disconnected head instead of
-temporary branch creation?

Add more good examples. Entire sections of just cookbook examples
might be a good idea; maybe make an "advanced examples" section a
standard end-of-chapter section?
