That's curious.  Here are the test names:

   t5516-fetch-push.sh
      113 - fetch warns or fails when using username:password
   t5601-clone.sh
      8 - clone warns or fails when using username:password
   t7031-verify-tag-signed-ssh.sh
      3 - verify and show ssh signatures
      11 - verify multiple tags ssh
   t7421-submodule-summary-add.sh
      1 - summary test environment setup
      2 - submodule summary output for initialized submodule
      3 - submodule summary output for deinitialized submodule
      4 - submodule summary output for submodules with changed paths
   t7500-commit-template-squash-signoff.sh
      46 - commit --squash works with -c
      47 - commit --squash works with -C for same commit
      48 - commit --squash works with -c for same commit
      49 - commit --squash works with editor
      50 - invalid message options when using --fixup
   t7528-signed-commit-ssh.sh
      4 - verify and show signatures
      5 - verify-commit exits failure on untrusted signature
      8 - verify-commit succeeds with commit date and key validity matching
      15 - show signed commit with signature
      16 - detect fudged signature
      20 - show bad signature with custom format

rc2 changed the following files:

   $ git diff --stat v2.37.0-rc1 v2.37.0-rc2
    Documentation/git-gc.txt         |  3 +--
    GIT-VERSION-GEN                  |  2 +-
    builtin/name-rev.c               |  2 +-
    contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh | 32 +++++++++++++++++---------------
    t/t9903-bash-prompt.sh           |  2 +-
    5 files changed, 21 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-)

The name-rev change only modifies a help message.  At first glance there
doesn't seem to be a way that these changes may influence the outcome of
those tests.
