We currently have one test for %(trailers) in `git-for-each-ref(1)`, through
"%(contents:trailers)". In preparation for more, let's add a few things:

  - Move the commit creation step to its own test so that it can be re-used.

  - Add a non-trailer to the commit's trailers to test that non-trailers aren't
    shown using "%(trailers:only)".

  - Add a multi-line trailer to ensure that trailers are unfolded correctly
    using "%(trailers:unfold)".
This is a minor nit, but since you invited formatting critique in your
cover letter, I feel entitled. :)

Consider wrapping your commit messages (and emails in general) at
72 characters, rather than 80. That lets them show well on an 80-column
display even when indented by "git log" or by inline quoting in an email
reply.

I'm also of the opinion that while 80 characters is fine for code, it's
a bit wide for English text. You can find various claims online[1] from
people interested in typography that a line width of about 60-70
characters is pleasant for reading.
