Re: [PATCH 04/13] cat-file: use type enum instead of buffer for -t option

> Now that we no longer support OBJECT_INFO_ALLOW_UNKNOWN_TYPE, there is
> no need to pass a strbuf into oid_object_info_extended() to record the
> type. The regular object_type enum is sufficient to capture all of the
> types we will allow.

> This simplifies the code a bit, and will eventually let us drop
> object_info's type_name strbuf support.
