Head gasket 1200 GX and water as coolant?

Subject: Head gasket 1200 GX and water as coolant?

I had the head gasket on my 1200 GX replaced with a new one (the old one leaked). The mechanic who did the work put water in the radiator and told me that it needs to run on pure water for up to a 1000 km. This is so that the head gasket can seat properly. Personally I dont like having pure water in my cooling system. Is this really needed? What will happen if I diluted the water with some normal (green) coolant before 1000km?
