Unlike the other two, this global variable was not zero-initialized,
so we can do something like this to initialize it statically in the
new world order. That way, we do not need to worry about the
repo_config_values_init() helper function, which (1) we can easily
forget to adjust, and (2) third-party may not be able to call.
