Currently, there are different tests for testing %(trailers) and
%(contents:trailers) causing redundant copy.

Its time to get rid of duplicate code.

Hmph, what is this one doing?  Ah, OK, trailers:unfold is tested as
before (just the steps to prepare 'expect' and 'actual' got swapped),
and because the same expectation holds for contents:trailers:unfold,
we can test it at the same.   Makes sense.

This uses different pattern.  It may be cleaner to test one side at
a time, as we have prepared the 'expect' that should be the same for
both, and compare with the expected pattern one at a time; that would
eliminate the need for 'reverse', too.  I.e.

	{
		grep -v patch.description trailers | unfold && echo
	} >expect &&
	git for-each-ref ... only,unfold ... >actual &&
	test_cmp expect actual &&
	git for-each-ref ... unfold,only ... >actual &&
	test_cmp expect actual &&

Doesn't this highlight a small bug, where an end-user request for an
unknown %(contents:trailers:unsupported) is flagged as an error
about %(trailers)?  Is it OK because we expect that users who use
the longer %(contents:trailers) to know that it is a synonym for
%(trailers) and the latter is the official way to write it?

Thanks.

Maybe.

Another way of thinking is...
'trailers' is an argument to 'contents', likewise here 'unsupported'
is an argument to trailers.
Technically, the error message is correct.

Again, I think views on this are highly subjective.

Thanks,
Hariom
