Subject: [PATCH RFC 1/5] transport-internal: update fetch_object_info comment
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 01:21:46 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930-backfill-dryrun-v1-1-1128f247ee01@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260930-backfill-dryrun-v1-0-1128f247ee01@gmail.com>

The comment describing the fetch_object_info() callback in struct
transport_vtable says that only the object size can be fetched. The
object-info capability can now also report the object type, or
neither, to only check whether an object exists on the remote.

Update the comment.
