FWIW I am not bothered (not that I've actually used GIT_SKIP_TESTS)
mainly because the unit tests finish so quickly.

Gah, I blame writing too much Go. Will fix.

I also wonder if there's a C linter that could catch this... I am not
very familiar with C tooling. Would be great to run that in CI (GGG).

Yes, but to be even more precise, it would be the number of trailer
objects in the trailer block (a single trailer could be folded over
multiple lines). Will update to "num_expected_objects".

I purposely did the simplest test possible in order to keep the patch
simple. Totally OK with expanding the data available to the test though,
if you'd prefer that (although that could also be in a separate series
later when we start converting some of the existing shell tests to these
unit tests).

Yeah, this sounds like the natural thing to do. Basically have an exact
list of "this is the linked list of trailer objects I expect to see
after parsing is complete".

I do plan on making the trailer iterator struct private in a future
series though, so maybe it's best to do the above after that series (to
avoid churn)? IDK.

@Christian thoughts?
