Subject: [PATCH v2] t/pack-refs-tests: drop '-f' from test_path_is_missing

From: jayesh0104 <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 04:19:03 +0000

test_path_is_missing expects exactly one argument: the path to
check for absence. Passing '-f' is incorrect and results in
"bug in the test script: 1 param" during test execution.

The '-f' flag appears to have been carried over from the
equivalent 'test -f' usage, but test_path_is_missing does not
accept such flags.

Remove the extraneous '-f' to use the helper correctly and
restore proper test behavior.

v2:
- Fix unintended removal of shebang and test framework lines
- Keep file mode unchanged
