config: drop `git_config_get_string()` wrapper

2025-07-23T15:15:19Z

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_string()`. All callsites are adjusted so that they use `repo_config_get_string(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. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

odb: introduce `odb_write_object()`

2025-07-17T05:16:15Z

We do not have a backend-agnostic way to write objects into an object database. While there is `write_object_file()`, this function is rather specific to the loose object format. Introduce `odb_write_object()` to plug this gap. For now, this function is a simple wrapper around `write_object_file()` and doesn't even use the passed-in object database yet. This will change in subsequent commits, where `write_object_file()` is converted so that it works on top of an `odb_source`. `odb_write_object()` will then become responsible for deciding which source an object shall be written to.

odb: rename `repo_read_object_file()`

2025-07-01T21:46:38Z

Rename `repo_read_object_file()` to `odb_read_object()` to match other functions related to the object database and our modern coding guidelines. Introduce a compatibility wrapper so that any in-flight topics will continue to compile. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

object-store: rename files to "odb.{c,h}"

2025-07-01T21:46:34Z

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. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

object-store: merge "object-store-ll.h" and "object-store.h"

2025-04-15T15:24:37Z

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. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

object-file: split out functions relating to object store subsystem

2025-04-15T15:24:36Z

While we have the "object-store.h" header, most of the functionality for object stores is actually hosted in "object-file.c". This makes it hard to find relevant functions and causes us to mix up concerns. Split out functions relating to the object store subsystem into a new "object-store.c" file.

path: drop `git_path()` in favor of `repo_git_path()`

2025-02-28T21:54:11Z

Remove `git_path()` in favor of the `repo_git_path()` family of functions, which makes the implicit dependency on `the_repository` go away. Note that `git_path()` returned a string allocated via `get_pathname()`, which uses a rotating set of statically allocated buffers. Consequently, callers didn't have to free the returned string. The same isn't true for `repo_common_path()`, so we also have to add logic to free the returned strings. This refactoring also allows us to remove `repo_common_pathv()` as well as `get_pathname()` from the public interface. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

path: drop `git_pathdup()` in favor of `repo_git_path()`

2025-02-07T17:59:22Z

Remove `git_pathdup()` in favor of `repo_git_path()`. The latter does essentially the same, with the only exception that it does not rely on `the_repository` but takes the repo as separate parameter. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
