[Greg Chicares]

branch: master
commit 96d4d3bb0dd1bf8aef21bad8c91157f67cfeacb1
Author: Gregory W. Chicares <gchicares@sbcglobal.net>
Commit: Gregory W. Chicares <gchicares@sbcglobal.net>

    Improve some git instructions
    
    Most importantly, prefer 'git switch' to the confusingly overloaded
    'git branch'.
