Two things.

(1) This stupid change was needed to please "make sparse", or we'd
    get this:

    repository.c:21:19: error: symbol 'the_repository' was not declared. Should it be static?
    gmake: *** [Makefile:3259: repository.sp] Error 1

(2) Aside from a few trivial and expected textual conflicts to be
    resolved, there were a few new files added that needed
    merge-fixes, with which I have this topic at the tip of the
    'seen' branch.
