Shouldn't that be mybranch instead of maint?

Yep, thanks for the sharp eyes.

[PATCH] user-manual: fix branch names in examples

[J. Bruce Fields]

Thanks to Frank Lichtenheld for pointing out inconsistent use of branch
names in a couple examples.

Add a little more example output while I'm at it.

At some point actually it might be good for someone to figure out a good
example to use consistently throughout the manual and tutorials; it
might make them a little easier to read.

Thanks everybody for participating in these fixups.

Bruce, how heavy is your workload these days?  Would you mind if
I ask you to collect the list comments, have me wait for a few
days until the discussions and updates settle down and give me
"Ok, all ready to be pulled" after that?

Probably lighter than yours.

Yep, that should be no problem.
