This patch all seems reasonable to me. When reviewing it in this way, it
is a little unclear to see which functions need just a repository, just
a hash_algo, or the whole write_midx_context structure.

I think I might have erred on the side of just passing the
write_midx_context structure throughout the midx-write.c internals. That
exposes more of the implementation details than is strictly necessary,
but it does so to the benefit of making the code (and this patch) easier
to follow.

I don't feel strongly about it, and I trust that you modified the right
functions to pass the right data. I just wanted to mention it in case
you hadn't considered an alternative way to structure this patch.

Thanks,
Taylor
