Instead of this, what about creating a single test that verifies
'type' is supported,
and modifying this test to verify that the other options are not?

That would actually preserve this test's behaviour and make it easier
to extend in the future. Something like:

+ test_expect_success 'type is supported by remote-object-info'
+ test_expect_success 'unsupported placeholder on remote returns empty string'
