Comment:
It is an error to install a binary called "HEAD" on a system with a case-
insensitive filesystem like most Macs. Doing so leads to extreme badness
as it conflicts with and can override the system's "head" binary which
serves an entirely different purpose. There have been countless examples
of this over past decade, both in MacPorts and elsewhere. We should not
add this variant.
