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. > > > + git remote set-head --auto origin >output && > > + echo "'\''origin/HEAD'\'' is now created and points to '\''main'\''" >expect && > > Nit: might be cleaner to use `${SQ}` here and below You mean something like this? git remote set-head --auto origin >output && HEAD="'\''origin/HEAD'\''" && echo "${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.
