Yes, it looks like the command reveals a couple of problems.

I'm not sure what to do with the HEAD problems.

        mkdir "$FN" &&
        for_each_name "echo initial >\"\$name\"" &&
        git add . &&
        git commit -q -m Initial &&

        for_each_name "echo second >\"\$name\"" &&
        git commit -a -m Second &&

        for_each_name "echo modified >\"\$name\""

fatal: iconv_open(UTF-8,UTF-8-MAC) failed, but needed:
    precomposed unicode is not supported.
    If you want to use decomposed unicode, run
    "git config core.precomposeunicode false"
