Ok, so because `repository_format_configure()` is invoked after the
repository format was already applied, it had to explictly configure the
repository as well.

Makes sense. Sounds like a good change.

We now only care about configuring the repository format and will let
`apply_repository_format()` handle setting the repository. Looks good.

`apply_repository_format()` already has the logic to set the hash algo
and ref storage format from the repository format, so change changing
the order here is ok and a good change.
