Doesn't this defeat the whole "drop #define USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE
as a mark that we are done with this file and no longer need to
worry about it going forward because we won't be able to compile if
somebody adds a new use?" premise?  

We want to omit the above two hunks, even though the rest of the
patch look perfectly good.

Thanks.
