I have a few comments and questions: Why do you call the new member `main_ref_store`? Is there expected to be some other `ref_store` associated with a repository? I think the origin of the name `main_ref_store` was to distinguish it from submodule ref stores. But presumably those will soon become the "main" ref stores for their respective submodule repository objects, right? So maybe calling things `repository.ref_store` and `get_ref_store(repository)` would be appropriate. There are some places in the reference code that only work with the main repository. The ones that I can think of are: * `ref_resolves_to_object()` depends on an object store. * `peel_object()` and `ref_iterator_peel()` also have to look up objects (in this case, tag objects). * Anything that calls `files_assert_main_repository()` or depends on `REF_STORE_MAIN` isn't implemented for other reference stores (usually, I think, these are functions that depend on the object store). Some of these things might be easy to generalize to non-main repositories, but I didn't bother because AFAIK currently only the main repository store is ever mutated. You can move a now-obsolete comment above the definition of `struct files_ref_store` if you haven't in some other patch (search for "libification"). Hope that helps, Michael
