[PATCH RFC 3/5] fetch-object-info: return a status instead of dying

From: Pablo Sabater <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-30 00:21:59
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

A subsequent commit needs fetch_object_info() not to die() when the
object-info capability is not enabled on the server, so that it can
fall back.

Make fetch_object_info() return FETCH_OBJECT_INFO_NOT_ENABLED instead
of die()'ing when the server does not advertise the object-info
capability, and propagate the status through the transport layer so
that callers of transport_fetch_object_info() can act on it. It is now
up to them whether to die() or fall back.

cat-file now dies by itself on FETCH_OBJECT_INFO_NOT_ENABLED, so its
behavior is unchanged.
