As the inventor of the mechanism, I took special interest in the
topic, and overall found them well done. I wasn't even aware that
we were so close to get rid of USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE in
builtin/rerere.c with such a small change (even though as I've said
I do not think it is high priority to make cmd_foo() not rely on
the_repository). Very nicely done.
Thanks.
