No, "git checkout -b myweb web/master" is supposed to do this job.

Are you sure that you actually use Git 1.4.4.1 or newer? What does
git --version
says?
I see no other reason for saying instructions are incorrect: I have
actually tested these instructions under GNU/Linux, with Git 1.4.4.2.
Do a Git expert knows why this doesn't work?
Darn, at second thought, Cogito seems to be easier to use, despite
limited portability :-/ If there is no other clean way to get you
started, you may simply fal back to Cogito...
