The `packfile.c` file uses the global variable 'the_repository' extensively throughout the code. Let's remove all usecases of this, by modifying the required functions to accept a 'struct repository' instead. This is to clean up usage of global state. The first 3 patches are mostly internal to `packfile.c`, we add the repository field to the `packed_git` struct and this is used to clear up some useages of the global variables. The next 3 patches are more disruptive, they modify the function definition of `odb_pack_name`, `has_object[_kept]_pack` and `for_each_packed_object` to receive a repository, helping remove other usages of 'the_repository' variable. Finally, the next two patches deal with global config values. These values are localized. The last patch is removal of an unecessary call to `prepare_packed_git()`. For v5 onwards, I've rebased the series off the master: 8f8d6eee53 (The seventh batch, 2024-11-01), as a dependency for this series 'jk/dumb-http-finalize' was merged to master. I've found no conflicts while merging with seen & next. But since this series does touch multiple files, there could be future conflicts. Changes in v9: - Added a comment in gc_config to indicate that eventually the `delta_base_cache_limit` variable should be used through repo_settings. Changes in v8: - Fix typos in comments - For packfile.c use delta_base_cache_limit from the repository settings, this avoids loading the config in hot paths. - Rename `longval` to `ulongval` to better signify the type. Changes in v7: - Cleanup stale commit message. - Add missing space in `if` statement. - Fix typo s/incase/in case/. Changes in v6: - Lazy load repository settings in packfile.c. This ensures that the settings are available for sure and we do not rely on callees setting it. - Use `size_t` for `delta_base_cache_limit`. Changes in v5: - Move packed_git* settings to repo_settings to ensure we don't keep reparsing the settings in `use_pack`. Changes in v4: - Renamed the repository field within `packed_git` and `multi_pack_index` from `r` to `repo`, while keeping function parameters to be `r`. - Fixed bad braces. Changes in v3: - Improved commit messages. In the first commit to talk about how packed_git struct could also be part of the alternates of a repository. In the 7th commit to talk about the motive behind removing the global variable. - Changed 'packed_git->repo' to 'packed_git->r' to keep it consistent with the rest of the code base. - Replaced 'the_repository' with locally available access to the repository struct in multiple regions. - Removed unecessary inclusion of the 'repository.h' header file by forward declaring the 'repository' struct. - Replace memcpy with hashcpy. - Change the logic in the 7th patch to use if else statements. - Added an extra commit to cleanup `pack-bitmap.c`.
