The first one probably can be replaced with oid_object_info_extended() (see the definition of has_sha1_file_with_flags() to see how to do it), and the second one looks redundant to me and can be removed. Apart from that, I don't see any other invocations that need to be converted, so parse_object() will indeed fully honor its repository argument.
