From: Justin Tobler <jltobler@xxxxxxxxx> Some tests set up reference locks by directly creating the lockfile. While this works for the files reference backend, reftable reference locks operate differently and are incompatible with this approach. Refactor the test to use git-update-ref(1) to lock refs instead so that the test does not need to be aware of how the ref backend locks refs.
