Well, I was naive enough to think that this whole "let's transition the
test suite to use `main` as default branch name" business would go over
much quicker. With that expectation, I was content to already have
`PREPARE_FOR_MAIN`-marked test cases in t5526 and t9902. They are
currently skipped because that prereq is still waiting for the transition
to complete.
That's what my promise was about: as soon as the competing topics settle,
I want to address those two test scripts in particular, moving them over
to `GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=main`.

FWIW I think you do a wonderful job of keeping the patch series in `seen`.
I wish we could keep the CI build passing a bit more, but I'd rather have
the branches that are in flight in one place, so that it is easy e.g. to
find out whether `git diff next..seen -- t/t9902\*` is empty (to determine
whether working on that script would cause conflicts right now).
Ciao,
