Possibly, but why? the only thiong that ever happened to was that I pushed my code into it, from a repo that used mainline (not master).

Why does a bare repo even have a HEAD file? (genuinely curious). It seems like it'd be best to create it when it's first pushed to? then it'd match whatever is used in the pushing repo...
