Indeed, such a situation may arise with some format atom e.g. %(objectname)
and %(rest). However %(deltabase) and %(objectdisk:size) don't have this
problem because they filled typep in `packed_object_info()`.

Yes, because we set typep while setting print_contents for
print_object_or_die() to check different object type case, this
leads to inconsistent behavior between sizep and typep.

This method is correct. This will ensure that skip_object_info will not
be set when print_contents is set.
By the way, maybe we can merge this two "if (opt->all_objects)" block to one.
if (opt->all_objects) {
struct object_info empty = OBJECT_INFO_INIT;
if (!memcmp(&data.info, &empty, sizeof(empty)))
data.skip_object_info = 1;
}
if (opt->all_objects) {
struct object_cb_data cb;
if (has_promisor_remote())
warning("This repository uses promisor
remotes. Some objects may not be loaded.");
After the merger:
if (opt->all_objects) {
struct object_cb_data cb;
struct object_info empty = OBJECT_INFO_INIT;
if (!memcmp(&data.info, &empty, sizeof(empty)))
data.skip_object_info = 1;
if (has_promisor_remote())
warning("This repository uses promisor
remotes. Some objects may not be loaded.");

Yes, these damages need to be pointed out in the commit message.
