There's another downside to that construct: it loses the exit
status from some_cmd.

So ideally this would be something like:
git count-objects >output &&
verbose test "$((1 + $before))" = "$(sed "s/ .*//" output)" &&

Alternatively, maybe there could be a helper in the same spirit as
test_cmp_rev?
test_object_count () {
git count-objects >output &&
sed "s/ .*//" output >count &&
printf "%s\n" "$1" >expect &&
test_cmp expect count
}
