Push HEAD instead of master when initialising repositories (#13719) (#13740)

* Push HEAD instead of master when initialising repositories

It is possible on modern gits to change the initial branch to something other than
master. This breaks initialising repositories because we assume that the initial
branch is going to be master unless specifically changed.

This PR simply bypasses this issue by pushing the HEAD rather than the master branch.
