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.
