I think so. For clones or fetches without using bundle-uri, we can hardly
encounter the case that new packs are added during the negotiation process.
So using `OBJECT_INFO_QUICK` can get some performance gain.

You are right! I tried dropping this `REF_SKIP_OID_VERIFICATION` flag and
the negotiation works as expected.

After some further digging I find that without `REF_SKIP_OID_VERIFICATION`,
both `write_ref_to_lockfile` for files backend and `reftable_be_transaction_prepare`
for reftable backend would call `parse_object` to check the oid. `parse_object`
can help refresh `packed_git` via `reprepare_packed_git`.

I favor the first approach because a validation on the object IDs we are
writing is a safe guard . And the flag itself was designed to be used in
testing scenarios.

/*
 * Blindly write an object_id. This is useful for testing data corruption
 * scenarios.
 */
#define REF_SKIP_OID_VERIFICATION (1 << 10)
