Subject: [Outreachy PATCH v2] checkout: pass the repository to unique_tracking_name()
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2026 11:56:41 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261022105641.68963-1-okhuomonajayi54@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261017225326.7827-1-okhuomonajayi54@gmail.com>
unique_tracking_name() uses the_repository to read the
"checkout.defaultRemote" configuration and look up the object
ID of a remote-tracking branch.
Pass the repository to unique_tracking_name() and through
tracking_name_data so check_tracking_name() can use it for
the object lookup. Update the three callers to pass
the_repository.
This removes the need for USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE in
checkout.c. for_each_remote() still uses the global repository;
leave that for a separate change.
