I found myself wondering this when reading serve.c the other day,
i.e. why we have "always_advertise" for object-info, but it seemed
innocuous enough given how it's described in a2ba162cda2 (object-info:
support for retrieving object info, 2021-04-20).

For what it is worth, The same change is now being reviewed in JGit
and there the feature is conditionally enabled. But that was a
side-effect of needing to deploy it to multiple servers before making
the feature available to clients.

FWIW, I do not mind, and probably prefer if I think about it a bit
longer, to make it an opt-in feature, like all other capabilities
defined in the serve.c file.

Thanks.
