Swapping out the "printf >expect" for a here-doc might make it a bit
more readable. I used printf because of the tab handling, but:

  tab=$(printf "\t")
  cat >expect <<-EOF
  ref: ${dst}${tab}HEAD
  ${oid}${tab}HEAD
  EOF

isn't too bad.

Or just use q_to_tab():

    q_to_tab >expect <<-EOF
    ref: ${dst}QHEAD
    ${oid}QHEAD
    EOF

However, the typical use-case for q_to_tab() is when we need a leading
or trailing TAB character. When TAB is embedded within the line, we
often just use a literal TAB character; indeed, many tests in the
suite do exactly that, so that would be an even simpler option.
