I suppose you had to read the manual to learn the "git commit" and
"git branch -m" commands, yes.  But what's wrong with that, or how
could we fix it?

	git init code
	cd code
	... hack away ...
	git remote add origin <url>
	git push -u origin master
	cd ..

	git init website
	cd website
	... hack away ...
	git branch -m website
	git remote add origin <url>
	git push -u origin website
	cd ..

I wonder if there is a potential documentation or error message update
lurking behind these questions.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
