This one is optional, I think. We're not removing any globals nor moving
towards removing any (I don't think), because we're really just
replacing two object_array parameters with the big data struct:

I say "I don't think" because it's possible that get_common_commits()
could use one of the other fields (or pass it to another function) in a
later patch. But I don't see it.

So I think one _could_ argue that it should continue to take the minimum
set of arguments it needs. I doubt it would ever be useful outside of the
context of upload_pack, so I think in practice it doesn't matter much
(beyond perhaps documenting which parts of the global data it needs). So
I don't feel strongly either way.
