What I can see is that `&size` is passed as the last argument to
unpack_object_header() below. And unpack_object_header() is defined in
packfile.h like this:

int unpack_object_header(struct packed_git *, struct pack_window **,
off_t *, unsigned long *);

since at least 336226c259 (packfile.h: drop extern from function
declarations, 2019-04-05)

So fixing this, if it needs to be fixed, should probably be part of a
separate topic fixing unpack_object_header().

Again this `size` variable is passed as the last argument to
unpack_object_header() below.

I think it's a valid concern, so it's certainly ok for you to ask
these questions.
