I have no problem with that. I am still unsure about that "reftable

any 6 byte name, we may want to fix it to something different from
'master', for the sake of removing 'master'. Perhaps 'banana' or
something?
Huh, did I miss anything? I scanned the thread for reftables but
couldn't find any discussion around it relying on a 6 byte name. Could
you maybe provide a pointer to what you are referring to?
c.f. <xmqqwm6ozn7d.fsf@gitster.g>. In t0613 some of the tests check
various sizes of things in the reftable and those depend on the length
of the branch name
Thanks
