As we're trying to remove uses of "the_repository" I think you should 
use "wt->repo" where we know always "wt != NULL". There are not many 
callers of these functions so is easy to do necessary analysis (see below).

As I said yesterday we know "wt != NULL" here so it is fine to use 
"wt->repo" rather than introduce a new use of "the_repository", you just 
need to explain that in the commit message.

The same is true here.

This function is called from 
builtin/branch.c:reject_rebase_or_bisect_branch() with "wt != NULL". It 
is also called from worktree.c:is_shared_symref() which dereferences wt 
before calling this function so we can assume "wt != NULL" there as 
well. That means we can use "wt->repo" here.

The same analysis for is_worktree_being_rebased() applies here.

The changes to get_branch() below look sensible

Thanks
