Subject: [PATCH v2] fetch —object-info-format: client option for object-info
Date: Tue,  8 Feb 2022 23:56:30 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220208235631.732466-1-calvinwan@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220208231911.725273-1-calvinwan@google.com>

Add ‘—object-info-format’ option to fetch. This option allows
the client to make an object-info [1] command request to a server
that supports protocol v2.

The transport implementation uses vtables [2], similar to how Git
fetches refs, to determine whether a process needs to be taken over
before sending the object-info request. Different protocols
require different setups for making requests.
