Hmm. It looks like this is broken in CI when the default initial branch
name is something other than "master":

    $ GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=main ./t6021-rev-list-exclude-hidden.sh -i --verbose-only=12 -x
    [...]
    expecting success of 6021.12 'receive: excluded hidden refs can be used with multiple pseudo-refs':
        git -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/ rev-list --exclude-hidden=$section --all --exclude-hidden=$section --all >out &&
        test_must_be_empty out

    + git -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/ rev-list --exclude-hidden=receive --all --exclude-hidden=receive --all
    + test_must_be_empty out
    + test 1 -ne 1

I haven't looked too deeply at what is going on here, but let's make
sure to resolve this before graduating the topic down (which I would
otherwise like to do in the next push-out, probably tomorrow or the next
day).

Thanks,
