We know upfront after capability negotiation (by seeing a request to give them a thin-pack) that we will send, in addition to the usual packfile, the prefix that carries that information and that is the important part. That lets the receiver decide whether to _expect_ to see the prefix or no prefix. Without such, there needs some clue in the prefix part itself if there are prefixes that carry information computed after capability negotiation finished (i.e. after "object enumeration").
