Subject: [PATCH v1] builtin/mktree: remove USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 02:17:03 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260311181704.958509-1-cat@malon.dev> (raw)

The 'cmd_mktree' already receives a 'struct repository *repo' but was
previously marked as UNUSED.

Pass the 'repo' down the 'mktree-line()' and 'write_tree()'.
Consequently, remove the 'USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE' macro, and
replace 'parse_oid_hex()' with its context-aware version
'parse_oid_hex_algop()'.

Signed-off-by: Tian Yuchen <cat@malon.dev>

I originally intended to attempt the #FIXME in t1006-cat-file.sh.
I followed the clues all the way here, only to discover that the
FIXME required a level of expertise far beyond my capabilities,
so I gave up. However, I spot the global variable here, so I went
ahead and fixed it ;)

Two questions:

The 'oid_to_hex' function appears to use 'the_hash_algo' internally.
Seems that it also implicitly relying on global state. Is there
anything we should be aware of?

I've always been unsure about who to CC on domain-specific patches,
so I've only been sending them to Junio and the mailing list. Could
this be why my previous patch for a global variable refactor didn't
receive any review feedback? Here is the link:

https://lore.kernel.org/git/20260302085738.2510514-1-a3205153416@gmail.com/

I would be most grateful if you could provide any feedback. Thank you.
