Thanks for the very helpful review on the series! Most of it is clear to me and
I agree with, so for brevity I'll only comment where I have a question/comment.

You got me there, probably not. I'm guessing I should use git update-ref or
something similar to set these values manually instead of editing the file.

On the other hand, is there a way to force the tests to run on a reftables
backend? t/README does not mention anything about this and since in a previous
round it already came up that I forgot to update the reftables backend, it
would be nice if I could actually test everything with that as well.

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.

Thanks,
Bence
