An early preview release Git v2.48.0-rc0 is now available for testing at the usual
places.  It is comprised of 446 non-merge commits since v2.47.0, contributed by 66
people, 26 of which are new faces [*].

The tarballs are found at:

   https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/testing/

The following public repositories all have a copy of the 'v2.48.0-rc0' tag and the
'master' branch that the tag points at:

 url = https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git
 url = https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git
 url = git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git
 url = https://github.com/gitster/git

Did I miss something about GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_REF_FORMAT=reftable being removed
from the test suite? That was available under 2.47.0 but if I supply it now, the tests
crash at git init.

Nothing should've changed here, and a local test run with that
environment variable works alright on my system. Could you please
provide more details?
