Technically passing down the `hash_algo` to both functions is not enough to remove the dependency, as replacing `hash_to_hex()` with `hash_to_hex_algop*()` is also needed. It's a bit unclear if `hash_to_hex()` calls are replaced with other calls in this patch or not though. So you might want to add something like: "Replacing `hash_to_hex` with functions that take an `hash_algo` as argument will be done in a followup commit." > This adds `the_repository` variable usage to > `midx-write.c`, which will be resolved in a future commit.
