I think the command line should follow the convention that is
suggested in "git clone -h" output, i.e.
git clone -b master /home/me/tmp/file.bundle R2
I also think 'git bundle create" should record HEAD that points at
the only branch it is packing so the person who clones from it
should not say which branch, and when that is done this patch will
become unnecessary, but that is a separate topic.
Thanks; I'll queue this after rewording some.

Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: correct example restore from bundle
Because the bundle created in the example does not record HEAD, "git
clone" will not check out the files to the working tree:
$ git clone pr.bundle q/
Cloning into 'q'...
Receiving objects: 100% (619/619), 13.52 MiB | 18.74 MiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (413/413), done.
warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.
Avoid alarming the readers by adding "-b master" to the example. A
better fix may be to arrange the bundle created in the earlier step
to record HEAD, so that it can be cloned without this workaround.
