Yeah, I was exploring the design space there and IIRC these two patches
are the best for the commit graph to do for now IMHO.
I might resend [1] to remove the first repository argument to make the API
cleaner again.

As Duy says in [2], we should
(A) change the construction of ref stores to not take a gitdir path, but
    a repository argument, which is stored internally
(B) change the signature of all the callback functions to take a ref store
    as a first argument, and then we can have a function
      get_repo_from(ref store)
    or put the repo in the callback cookie as you do in this series.

Wth this we do not treat the repository argument any special in the
refs code and only if we have the pressing need to have it always
available we might want to implement the get_repo_from_refstore
instead of treating it just like any other data passed through the cb
cookie.

[2] https://public-inbox.org/git/CACsJy8DwaLCxY-ryV+=OwRytzwwQZCfVmfXo0z91z9YRMMT0VA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

tl;dr: please keep these two patches for now, I'll send patches on top
if that is where I'll go next.

Thanks,
Stefan
