Yes.  We first should justify if it makes sense to cram attribute
set into the repository object and pass it around in the first
place.  Many index-state related functions do not pass repository
around because they work on index-state, so index-state is passed
around instead.  Perhaps the attribute subsystem should be the same
way, in that their globals should belong to its own abstraction that
is smaller scale than a repository object (it is permissible to have
such an attribute-set object know about which repository instance it
is related to, though).
