Re: [PATCH] Documentation: specify base point when generating MyFirstContribution patchset

It has been described before:

Let's start by making a development branch to work on our changes. Per
`Documentation/SubmittingPatches`, since a brand new command is a new feature,
it's fine to base your work on `master`. However, in the future for bugfixes,
etc., you should check that document and base it on the appropriate branch.

Leave it as is?
