Subject: [PATCH GSoC 1/5] protocol-caps: add type support to object-info
Date: Sat, 25 Jul 2026 13:55:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260725-objecttype-support-v1-1-2d4ca3bbabf1@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260725-objecttype-support-v1-0-2d4ca3bbabf1@gmail.com>
Teach the server-side object-info handler to accept type as a requested
field. When the client includes type in its object-info request, the
server returns the requested object type.
While at it, fix requested_info->size bit field style.
