Hmph, so we want to see an attempt to run symref-delete of refs/heads/main when refs/heads/main is *not* a symref to fail? That is a reasonable test to have. When you invent a shiny new toy, it is hard to make sure you covered cases where it should not kick in or positively diagnose a failure. A review with a sharp eye to spot missing tests is very much appreciated. THanks.
