The other is passing in `struct repository *r` and accessing r->gitdir. It's not entirely clear which should be used in what scenario. Sure with the second option the user has the option of passing something in that isn't `the_repository` but practically speaking that's not happening here and also in the large majority of other scenarios. I'm OK with this patch for the purposes of the series, but do you think in the future we should introduce get_git_dir(struct repository *r) and change get_git_dir() into get_env_git_dir() that simply calls get_git_dir(the_repository)?
