Nit: might be cleaner to use `${SQ}` here and below

You mean something like this?

	git remote set-head --auto origin >output &&
	HEAD="'\''origin/HEAD'\''" &&
	echo "${HEAD} is now created and points to '\''main'\''" >expect &&

I tried a few variations and this is what I could get working, but I may be
simply missing something with the backtick.

I mean simply this

    git remote set-head --auto origin >output &&
    echo "${SQ}origin/HEAD${SQ} is now created and points to
${SQ}main${SQ}" >expect &&
