Subject: [Outreachy PATCH 1/6] notes: store the repository in struct notes_tree
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2026 21:33:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105203344.48513-2-okhuomonajayi54@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261105203344.48513-1-okhuomonajayi54@gmail.com>
A notes tree is always read from one repository, but the tree
does not record which one. Later code has to fall back to
the_repository.
Store the repository on the tree. init_notes() and
load_notes_trees() take it as their first argument, and
init_notes() saves it in t->repo. notes_cache_init() passes
the repository it was given. Other callers pass
the_repository for now.
