In fact, I suspect you could replace the "GOODSIG" check as well by
doing something like:

  # verifying 3 tags in one invocation should be exactly like
  # verifying the 3 separately
  tags="fourth-signed sixth-signed seventh-signed"
  for i in $tags; do
          git verify-tag -v --raw $i || return 1

  git verify-tag -v --raw $tags >actual.stdout 2>actual.stderr &&
  test_cmp expect.stdout actual.stdout &&
  test_cmp expect.stderr actual.stderr

Hmm, does [1] suggest that using test_cmp on stderr here would be
contraindicated?
