I'm still a little skeptical of this approach, just because I think it
it discourages adding further checks. And in particular, I was planning
to add monotonicity checks to the midx OIDF chunk based on the
discussion in the earlier thread. And likewise, I think I probably
should have put the commit-graph checks into its OIDF reader, rather
than saving them for verify_commit_graph_lite(). That would match the
way we check the validity of the other chunks.
I haven't actually started writing those patches, though, so I'm not
sure of the full details yet.
