Good intentions, but wouldn't the above clobber symlinked HEAD?
Not a fundamental flaw, though. You need to see if it is a symlink,
readlink it (repeatedly until you get a regular file or dangling symlink
target that does not exist --- immediately after git-init-db has such a
HEAD) and run your echo_to_file on the link target.
