Subject: [PATCH GSoC v6 08/10] fetch-object-info: parse type from server response
Date: Sat, 08 Aug 2026 02:02:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260808-objecttype-support-v6-8-e5cdaf27a49c@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260808-objecttype-support-v6-0-e5cdaf27a49c@gmail.com>
The server can handle type requests but does not advertise the
capability yet. Prepare the client to know how to parse the server
response once the server advertises the type capability.
