Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] replace the_repository with local repository instances
Date: Sun, 29 Mar 2026 15:46:38 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260329101725.1092900-1-shreyanshpaliwalcmsmn@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260328141146.1095115-1-shreyanshpaliwalcmsmn@gmail.com>
This series continues the effort to reduce reliance on the_repository
global state by making repository context explicit across the refs
subsystem. The patches focus on passing struct repository through various
ref helpers and backends, and replacing uses of global state such as
the_repository and the_hash_algo with the appropriate repository instance.
Patch 1/5: Making branch name helper functions (copy_branchname(),
check_branch_ref(), validate_branchname(), and validate_new_branchname())
repository-aware. (built on top of jw/object-name-bitset-to-enum)
Patch 2/5: Updating get_files_ref_lock_timeout_ms() to take a repository
and propagating it through files-backend, including callback paths.
Patch 3/5: Replacing uses of the_hash_algo in refs.c with the hash
algorithm from the appropriate repository.
Patch 4/5: Removing remaining uses of the_repository in reftable-backend.c
where a repository instance is already available.
Patch 5/5: Replacing the single instance of the_repository in
packed-backend.c, thus dropping the USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE macro.
Shreyansh Paliwal (5):
refs: add struct repository parameter to branchname helpers
refs: add struct repository parameter in
get_files_ref_lock_timeout_ms()
refs: remove the_hash_algo global state
refs/reftable-backend: drop uses of the_repository
refs/packed-backend: use ref_store->repo instead of the_repository
