[PATCH] core-tutorial: Use new syntax for git-merge.

[PATCH] core-tutorial: Use new syntax for git-merge.

[Sergei Organov]

The patch below turns core-tutorial to use new syntax for
git-merge. Please take close look at the last diff chunk, -- I'm not sure I
got it right as it didn't have HEAD in the original version, -- was it already
wrong before the patch?

You do not want the extra 'master' there.

The example is working on 'master' branch at this point and HEAD
and 'master' are equivalent there.
