I actually need the probe request to determine what authentication is available, since it isn't guaranteed that the info/refs request requires authentication (in my case, it doesn't).

It only does that if it fails. I do plan to fix that, although potentially in a separate patch. It's really very minor, though silly to have it prompt when that's not ever going to be useful.
