cover refs: stop using `the_repository`

Hi,

this patch series removes use of the_repository in the refs subsystem and drops the USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE macro define from those files.

Patrick

Patrick Steinhardt (5):
refs: stop using the_repository
refs/files: stop using the_repository in
parse_loose_ref_contents()
refs/files: stop using the_repository
refs/packed: stop using the_repository
refs/reftable: stop using the_repository

PATCH 2/5 refs/files: stop using `the_repository` in `parse_loose_ref_contents()`

In reply to Patrick Steinhardt

We implicitly rely on the_repository in parse_loose_ref_contents() by calling parse_oid_hex(). Convert the function to instead use parse_oid_hex_algop() and have callers pass in the hash algorithm to use.

Re: [PATCH 4/5] refs/packed: stop using `the_repository`

In reply to Patrick Steinhardt

Convert the packed ref backend to stop using the_repository in favor of the repo that gets passed in via struct ref_store.

Nit: Might be nice to add that we move to using get_oid_hex_algop in this commit. Since it was also mentioned in a prev commit

Hi,

this patch series removes use of the_repository in the refs subsystem and drops the USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE macro define from those files.

So the idea is to slowly cleanup usages of the_repository and the USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE macro acts as a check for this. I think the changes look great. I even ran clang-format on this series and apart from line wrap suggestions, there were no issues.

Thanks for this.

Thanks Patrick, these improvements make sense to me.

Is there a priority order on removing the_repository from other parts of the codebase?

Cheers,

Yeah, that'd make sense indeed. I'll refrain from sending out a new version of this patch series just to amend the commit message, but have queued the change locally and will send it out in case any other changes are required for this patch series.

Thanks!

Exactly. One intent is to demonstrate to reviewers that a file actually got rid of the_repository. The second intent is to hide away APIs that have an implicit dependency on the_repository, which would be easy to miss otherwise.

The second part is not perfect because we only hide away a subset of interfaces. That part can be extended over time as required though.

I was tackling the refs API because I knew that it was a "leaf" package that doesn't have a ton of dependencies on subsystems that may be using the_repository itself. So I guess that the order that makes most sense is from leaf subsystems up to the root such that we can adjust layer by layer.

Figuring out what those leaf subsystems are is a different story though. I typically tend to brute force it, see how far I get and if I succeed then I don't mention all the failed tries that led to the patch series ;) Over time you then get some intuition for which parts to handle next, even though I realize that this is not particularly useful as advice to somebody not that familiar with the codebase.
