We seem to be getting

reftable/record.c: In function 'reftable_log_record_key':
reftable/record.c:578:2: error: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Werror=strict-aliasing]
  put_be64(&i64[0], ts);
    ^
        CC reftable/refname.o

when this series is merged to 'seen'.
