Remove the suggestion for using a detached HEAD instead of a temporary branch.

Notes:
    A search of the user manual found only one location which refers to
    temporary branches.  This has to do with how Tony Luck uses them.
    
    Even then there is a clarifying parenthetical noting that the
    temporary branches are topic branches.
    
    A git blame showed that the last time that the entry was updated was
    in 2007.

-Simplify beginning by suggesting disconnected head instead of
-temporary branch creation?
-
 Add more good examples.  Entire sections of just cookbook examples
 might be a good idea; maybe make an "advanced examples" section a
 standard end-of-chapter section?
