I also don't know the code well enough to answer your question regarding
the re-opening of the migrated ref-store, but it doesn't look like it would
cause any problems (famous last words).

Thanks for testing. This is new in the upcoming release, but I think
it's localized to the "git ref migrate" command. So aside from the
annoyance of the test failure for you, it is not too urgent. I'm tempted
to put it off until Patrick has had a chance to weigh in, even if it
means missing the v2.46 cutoff.

Yes, I think it would be better for Patrick to take a look. I added Adam to
the CC list to keep him in the loop (because he is the cygwin git package
maintainer); he may have a view on the timing issues.

Personally, I would be fine with a post v2.46 fix, but it is not up to me. :)

Absolutely fine with a post-v2.46 fix for Cygwin's official packaging.
Real Life™ has meant I'm not on top of the latest releases anyway, so
needing to wait a bit longer before taking v2.46 won't realistically
make much difference anyway.
