Ok. Pretty sure I got literal HEAD from one of the examples somewhere ...
Or, I've been blind all along. Anyway, the maintainer may consider giving
an error when trying to access HEAD as a module. Would have saved about
2 days work and its unlikely I'm the last victim :-(
Part of the two days is that during all the things I tried somehow
messed up with master too, so the one time I tried that it failed as
well :-(
Anyway, case closed. On with the testing ...
Thanks --- Jan
