So the problem is that there is overhead associated with getting object info from the remote. Therefore, remote-object-info also supports batching objects together. This seems reasonable.

Even in non-buffer mode, having separate remote-object-info commands would result in additional overhead correct? From my understanding each command is executed sequently, so multiples of remote-object-info would always result in additional overhead.

I think the sign-offs are supposed to go at the bottom.

When using the remote-object-info command, the object in question is supposed to be on the remote and may not exist locally. Therefore we skip over `get_oid_with_context()`.

We should omit the parenthesis for single line if statements.

Since special handling is needed for the remote-object-info command, we record the queued command names to check against later.

It seems a little confusing to me that `parse_remote_info()` accepts both a `parse_cmd` and `queued_cmd`, but only expects to use one or the other. It looks like this is done because `dispatch_calls()` already accepts `queued_cmd`, but now needs to call `parse_remote_info()`.

Since it is only the underlying command function that is needed by `parse_remote_info()`

If we adapt `parse_remote_info()` to accept the command function we could pass cmd->fn here instead.
