Re: [PATCH GSoC 1/5] protocol-caps: add type support to object-info

Teach the server-side object-info handler to accept type as a requested
field. When the client includes type in its object-info request, the
server returns the requested object type.

While at it, fix requested_info->size bit field style.

I assume this is a style change? The original line doesn't seem
long enough to wrap though.

Also, this would break the grep-ability of this error string.

Can we not use the `test_file_size` tool to do this instead?
That should also be much more portable.
