Thanks.

"succeed".

Not a very good practice to chdir around, even if you have
when-finished clean-up.  Not worth risking "rm -rf" at random
places when for example somebody breaks when-finished.

Instead...

Place everything below ...

This is in a freshly created repository without commit.  Does
"branch -M" work for such an unborn branch?  Perhaps start this
block like so:

	git init test &&
	(
		cd test &&
		test_commit initial &&
		git branch -M main &&
		cat >expect <<-\EOF &&
		refs/heads/main
                refs/tags/initial
		EOF
		git remote add origin nowhere &&
		...

... up to here inside a (subshell).

By the way, your use of "git branch -M" makes the test work whether
the default initial branch name is still 'master' or already 'main'
by forcing the branch used for testing to be 'main'.  Clever ;-).

Will queue with all of the above suggestions squashed in; please see
if the result is good when it is pushed out later today.

Thanks.
