  This assumption was broken by 845de33a5b (cat-file: avoid noop calls
  to sha1_object_info_extended, 2016-05-18). That commit skips the call
  to oid_object_info_extended() entirely when --batch-all-objects is in
  use, and the custom format does not include any placeholders that
  require calling it.

Or when the custom format only include placeholders like %(objectname) or
%(rest), oid_object_info_extended() will not get the type of the object.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to get at with "placeholders that require
calling it", but I couldn't think of a less awkward way to say that. :)
Spelling it out is probably a good idea.
