Yes, the tests in t0032-reftable-unittest.sh should be ported over to
the new unit test framework eventually, and I think that this might be a
good GSoC project indeed.

If there is interest I'd also be happy to draft up some more topics in
the context of refs and the reftable backend. I'm sure there should be
some topics here that would be a good fit for the GSoC project, and I'd
be happy to mentor any such project in this context.
