Thanks, this iteration looks good to me, and this is definitely a bug worth fixing.

I think you could minimize this quite a bit as:
diff --git a/t/t6300-for-each-ref.sh b/t/t6300-for-each-ref.sh
index cba3454..f259c22 100755

 '
 

which IMHO makes it a little more obvious what the setup is doing. But I
am OK with it either way.
