write_fetch_command_and_capabilities() is moved to 'connect.c' in a subsequent commit. To prepare for that, drop the static variable usage of advertise_sid. Currently advertise_sid is used in two places: 1. In function do_fetch_pack(): if (!server_supports("session-id")) advertise_sid = 0; 2. In function fetch_pack_config(): repo_config_get_bool("transfer.advertisesid", &advertise_sid);Nit: But #2 isn't a usecase, it's where it is set no? Looking at the usecase, it seems like we have two: #1 like you stated #2 within `write_fetch_command_and_capabilities()`. But the flow is that, the variable is set in `fetch_pack_config()`, right?
Completly true, fetch_pack_config() is where it's set, but not where it's used. I'll fix #2 to be where it is used. Thanks.

About 1, it is only relevant for v0/v1 protocol, move it into find_common(). About 2, call repo_config_get_bool() inside of write_fetch_command_and_capabilities() and find_common() replacing the static variable. Because repo_config_get_bool() leaves advertise_sid as is if it is not set, initialize it to 0 matching its default.

But we could directly check where it is needed, which is `find_common()`. Is `find_common()` only called in v0/v1 as stated in the commit message?
Yes, find_common() is only called from do_fetch_pack() which is the v0/v1
path, if we take a look at fetch_pack():
if (version == protocol_v2) {
[snip]
ref_cpy = do_fetch_pack_v2(args, fd, ref, sought, nr_sought,
&shallows_scratch, &si,
pack_lockfiles);
