Yes please (or delete this line).

In env.c we say:
/*
 * We put all the git config variables in this same object
 * file, so that programs can link against the config parser
 * without having to link against all the rest of git.
 *
 * In particular, no need to bring in libz etc unless needed,
 * even if you might want to know where the git directory etc
 * are.
 */

And setup.c only has a few variables that matter there locally.
So I would think having 'the_repository' in repo.c is acceptable.

I wonder if we can defer the NULL assignments to
repo_clear, where we would just do a
memset(repo, 0, sizeof(struct repo));

Care to elaborate on this? I do not understand why we would want
to check the format version here?

The init and clear method seem obvious to me, but what do we need the
repo_set_gitdir for externally? I would assume the repo auto-discovers its
gitdir on its own?
