This is a real take on the first part of the recent RFC[1]. Jonathan Tan suggested[2] that "sha1_loose_object_info to handle arbitrary repositories" might be a good breaking point for a first part at that RFC at patch 38. This series is smaller and contains only 26 patches as the patches in the big RFC were slightly out of order. I developed this series partly by writing patches, but mostly by cherrypicking from that RFC on top of current master. I noticed no external conflicts apart from one addition to the repositories _INIT macro, which was easy to resolve. Comments in the early range of that RFC were on 003 where Junio pointed out that the coccinelle patch ought to be not in contrib/coccinelle, so I put it in a sub directory there, as 'make coccicheck' doesn't traverse subdirs. brian had a questoin on patch 25 in the RFC, but that seemed to resolve itself without any suggestion to include into this series[3]. Duy suggested that we shall not use the repository blindly, but should carefully examine whether to pass on an object store or the refstore or such[4], which I agree with if it makes sense. This series unfortunately has an issue with that as I would not want to pass down the `ignore_env` flag separately from the object store, so I made all functions that only take the object store to have the raw object store as the first parameter, and others using the full repository. Eric Sunshine brought up memory leaks with the RFC, and I would think to have plugged all holes.
