I've also been reading through the whole series today, and the changes
are trivial and look good to me.

I took me a while to get into the mindset of taking this approach, but
after chatting with Patrick I've changed my mind and agree with this
approach. The goal of this series is to eliminate the use of
`the_repository` in the mentioned subsystems. Simply bubbling up the use
of that variable to the callers of those subsystems is very trivial and
safe to do.
