tests-subrepo-git: use "f" to dump pwned.txt, for portability

Rather than sometimes using a complicated shell construct to dump pwned.txt
(if it wasn't expected to exist, but might, if something were broken) or
just cat (if it was expected to exist), just use the "f" utility, which
will be consistent in its behavior across different platforms.

Also make sure that *something* gets put into pwned.txt, even if we ended
up typoing the message variable.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
