In the recent codebase update (commit 8bf6fbd, 2023-12-09), a new unit
testing framework written entirely in C was introduced to the Git project
aimed at simplifying testing and reducing test run times.
Currently, tests for the reftable refs-backend are performed by a custom
testing framework defined by reftable/test_framework.{c, h}. Port
reftable/basics_test.c to the unit testing framework and improve upon
the ported test.

The evolution of a patch series can be followed a bit easier if
subsequent versions are attached to the initial thread. You can do this
by passing e.g. `--in-reply-to=<message-id>` to git-format-patch(1),
where the message ID is the one of the cover letter of the first
version.

I'd also recommend to attach a range diff to your cover letter via the
`--range-diff=` parameter. This range diff helps the reviewer to spot
what has changed between your preceding version and this one.
