Provide detailed instructions on how to branch off a tag #53

I helped a student with creating a branch off of a submit tag in their git repository.

The process was complex enough that it warrants some documentation.

The thing that I forgot is that the origin branch must be specified when the branch is checked out on the PSU Linux machine.

$ git checkout -b fix-project-3 origin/fix-project-3
