I wrote about delta_base_cache in a reply [1] to an earlier version, which is indeed safe (as discussed), but I think that other reviewers might have questions about that too so I think it's worth noting that in the commit message. Maybe write something like: Among the functions modified to handle arbitrary repositories, unpack_entry() is one of them. Note that it still references the globals "delta_base_cache" and "delta_base_cached", but those are safe to be referenced (the former is indexed partly by "struct packed_git *", which is repo-specific, and the latter is only used to limit the size of the former as an optimization).

Instead, the "r == the_repository" check should be done in the same "if" statement as repository_format_partial_clone (and no "die"-ing occurs if it fails - just that there will be no fetching of objects).
