Re: git init doesn't create master branch

the manual of git init says: "An initial HEAD file that references the
HEAD of the master branch is also created."

However, after creating the repository using git init there's no
master branch.

Right, but HEAD still points to it ;-). We sometimes call this an
"unborn branch".

Right.  Let me also add that our prompt has support for this; on an
unborn branch, my prompt looks like:

artagnon|master#:/tmp/foo$
               ^
	       the # indicates unborn branch
