There is another issue. It is unique to this among the reftable/*_test topics, simply because this one happens to be the last and needs to clean up a bit more. Apparently, GNU "ar" can be invoked without any .o object files and happily creates an empty archive, but on BSD may not be that may be the case. macOS CI jobs seem to be hard failing due to this. You'd need to squeeze in the following, in addition to [7/7], to earlier patch(es). Thanks.
