I went through half of the patches a week ago, but got back to reading
through the series today.

The approach here is to simply bubble up the usage of `the_repository`
to upper layers and use `the_repository` there. The alternative approach
would be to try and resolve the dependency on the upper layers and not
use `the_repository`. This approach seems much safer. The patches look
good to me.

Thanks!
