I am not sure how I helped this particularly (say, compared to all
the other patches on the list from everybody), though.
The updated format_trailers() does so much more than the original
and does so quite differently, it is hard to tell if the existing
caller is getting the same behaviour (modulo obviously it now needs
to prepare a strbuf and print the resulting string in the strbuf,
which is expected) as before.
The conversion for the sole existing caller looks like this, ...
> LIST_HEAD(head);
> struct strbuf sb = STRBUF_INIT;
> + struct strbuf trailer_block = STRBUF_INIT;
> struct trailer_info info;

> + format_trailers(opts, &head, &trailer_block);
> + fwrite(trailer_block.buf, 1, trailer_block.len, outfile);
> + strbuf_release(&trailer_block);
... and it is very straight-forward.

i.e. iterate over trailers, and sometimes call print_tok_val(),
which does not do all that much. Print only the val, or when tok is
not empty, show "tok: val" while taking into account the possibility
that the last byte of tok may already be the separator.
But the new thing is way more complex.

OK, this matches the first condition to stay silent in the original.

For the original caller of format_trailers(), which is the
interpret_trailers(), .filter member is never set, so we always come
here, I presume. cmd_interpret_trailers(), before calling
interpret_trailers() could affect the following members:
.in_place .trim_empty .only_trailers .only_input .unfold .no_divider
so we should make sure this new implementation does not change the
behaviour from the original with various combination of these
options.

So, ... how would this affect an invocation of
$ git interpret-trailers --unfold
which would have set opts.unfold to true in cmd_interpret_trailers()
and eventually called process_trailers() with it, which eventually
called print_all(), which conditionally called print_tok_val() but
never gave the val to unfold_value()?
... goes and digs a bit more ...
Ahhhh, original process_trailers() did this by calling
parse_trailers() that munged the value. So its print_all()
codepath only had to print what has already been munged.
But then in this new code, do we unfold only here? I thought that
in the new code you moved around, the caller, whose name is now
interpret_trailers(), still calls parse_trailers() and that calls
the unfold_value(). So, are we doing redundant work that may merely
be unneeded (if we are lucky) or could be harmful (if things, other
than the unfold thing I just noticed, that are done both in
parse_trailers() and this function are not idempotent)?
It could be that a bit more preparatory refactoring would clarify.
I dunno.
