From: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com>

One of the t1509 setup tests is very particular about the output it expects from `git init`, and fails if the output differs even slightly which can happen easily if the script is run multiple times since it doesn't do a good job of cleaning up after itself (i.e. it leaves detritus in the root directory `/`). One bit of cruft in particular (`/HEAD`) makes the test fail since its presence causes `git init` to alter its output; rather than reporting "Initialized empty Git repository", it instead reports "Reinitialized existing Git repository" when `/HEAD` is present. Address this problem by making the test do a more careful job of crafting its intended initial state.
