<content type='text'>
Add and apply a semantic patch to convert calls to parse_tree() and
friends to the corresponding variant that takes a repository argument,
to allow the functions that implicitly use the_repository to be retired
once all potential in-flight topics are settled and converted as well.

The changes in .c files were generated by Coccinelle, but I fixed a
whitespace bug it would have introduced to builtin/commit.c.

In 036876a1067 (config: hide functions using `the_repository` by
default, 2024-08-13) we have moved around a bunch of functions in the
config subsystem that depend on `the_repository`. Those function have
been converted into mere wrappers around their equivalent function that
takes in a repository as parameter, and the intent was that we'll
eventually remove those wrappers to make the dependency on the global
repository variable explicit at the callsite.

Follow through with that intent and remove `git_config_get_bool()`. All
callsites are adjusted so that they use
`repo_config_get_bool(the_repository, ...)` instead. While some
callsites might already have a repository available, this mechanical
conversion is the exact same as the current situation and thus cannot
cause any regression. Those sites should eventually be cleaned up in a
later patch series.

<content type='text'>
In the preceding commits we have renamed the structures contained in
"object-store.h" to `struct object_database` and `struct odb_backend`.
As such, the code files "object-store.{c,h}" are confusingly named now.
Rename them to "odb.{c,h}" accordingly.

<title>global: use designated initializers for options</title>

<content type='text'>
While we expose macros for most of our different option types understood
by the "parse-options" subsystem, not every combination of fields that
has one as that would otherwise quickly lead to an explosion of macros.
Instead, we just initialize structures manually for those variants of
fields that don't have a macro.

Callsites that open-code these structure initialization don't use
designated initializers though and instead just provide values for each
of the fields that they want to initialize. This has three significant
downsides:

  - Callsites need to specify all values up to the last field that they
    care about. This often includes fields that should simply be left at
    their default zero-initialized state, which adds distraction.

  - Any reader not deeply familiar with the layout of the structure
    has a hard time figuring out what the respective initializers mean.

  - Reordering or introducing new fields in the middle of the structure
    is impossible without adapting all callsites.

Convert all sites to instead use designated initializers, which we have
started using in our codebase quite a while ago. This allows us to skip
any default-initialized fields, gives the reader context by specifying
the field names and allows us to reorder or introduce new fields where
we want to.

<title>object-store: merge "object-store-ll.h" and "object-store.h"</title>

<content type='text'>
The "object-store-ll.h" header has been introduced to keep transitive
header dependendcies and compile times at bay. Now that we have created
a new "object-store.c" file though we can easily move the last remaining
additional bit of "object-store.h", the `odb_path_map`, out of the
header.

Do so. As the "object-store.h" header is now equivalent to its low-level
alternative we drop the latter and inline it into the former.

<title>hash: stop depending on `the_repository` in `null_oid()`</title>
<updated>2025-03-10T20:16:20Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Patrick Steinhardt</name>
<email>ps@pks.im</email>
</author>
<published>2025-03-10T07:13:31Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/git/commit/?id=7d70b29c4f0b2fd3c6698956d9fb4026632d9c6e'/>
<id>urn:sha1:7d70b29c4f0b2fd3c6698956d9fb4026632d9c6e</id>
<content type='text'>
The `null_oid()` function returns the object ID that only consists of
zeroes. Naturally, this ID also depends on the hash algorithm used, as
the number of zeroes is different between SHA1 and SHA256. Consequently,
the function returns the hash-algorithm-specific null object ID.

This is currently done by depending on `the_hash_algo`, which implicitly
makes us depend on `the_repository`. Refactor the function to instead
pass in the hash algorithm for which we want to retrieve the null object
ID. Adapt callsites accordingly by passing in `the_repository`, thus
bubbling up the dependency on that global variable by one layer.

There are a couple of trivial exceptions for subsystems that already got
rid of `the_repository`. These subsystems instead use the repository
that is available via the calling context:

  - "builtin/grep.c"
  - "grep.c"
  - "refs/debug.c"

There are also two non-trivial exceptions:

  - "diff-no-index.c": Here we know that we may not have a repository
    initialized at all, so we cannot rely on `the_repository`. Instead,
    we adapt `diff_no_index()` to get a `struct git_hash_algo` as
    parameter. The only caller is located in "builtin/diff.c", where we
    know to call `repo_set_hash_algo()` in case we're running outside of
    a Git repository. Consequently, it is fine to continue passing
    `the_repository-&gt;hash_algo` even in this case.

  - "builtin/ls-files.c": There is an in-flight patch series that drops
    `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` in this file, which causes a semantic
    conflict because we use `null_oid()` in `show_submodule()`. The
    value is passed to `repo_submodule_init()`, which may use the object
    ID to resolve a tree-ish in the superproject from which we want to
    read the submodule config. As such, the object ID should refer to an
    object in the superproject, and consequently we need to use its hash
    algorithm.

    This means that we could in theory just not bother about this edge
    case at all and just use `the_repository` in "diff-no-index.c". But
    doing so would feel misdesigned.

Remove the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` preprocessor define in
"hash.c".
