documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-newbie.xml: Tag example fixed
The example that creates a local branch based on a release tag in the "Repositories, Tags, and Branches" section was not optimal. Darren Hart informed me that naming a local branch the same name as a tag confuses Git. Plus, the "-b" option was mis-placed. Renamed the local branch to have "my-" in front of it and moved the "-b" option earlier in the command.
