<id>urn:sha1:d012ceb5f3351af0589a0c82b07059bce8c7b24b</id>
<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.

The convention to calling into built-in command implementation has
been updated to pass the repository, if known, together with the
prefix value.

* jc/pass-repo-to-builtins:
  add: pass in repo variable instead of global the_repository
  builtin: remove USE_THE_REPOSITORY for those without the_repository
  builtin: remove USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE from builtin.h
  builtin: add a repository parameter for builtin functions

<content type='text'>
Instead of including USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE by default on every
builtin, remove it from builtin.h and add it to all the builtins that
include builtin.h (by definition, that means all builtins/*.c).

Also, remove the include statement for repository.h since it gets
brought in through builtin.h.

The next step will be to migrate each builtin
from having to use the_repository.

<content type='text'>
In order to reduce the usage of the global the_repository, add a
parameter to builtin functions that will get passed a repository
variable.

This commit uses UNUSED on most of the builtin functions, as subsequent
commits will modify the actual builtins to pass the repository parameter
down.

<title>environment: make `get_index_file()` accept a repository</title>

The `get_index_file()` function retrieves the path to the index file
of `the_repository`. Make it accept a `struct repository` such that it
can work on arbitrary repositories and make it part of the repository
subsystem. This reduces our reliance on `the_repository` and clarifies
scope.

<title>cache.h: remove this no-longer-used header</title>

Since this header showed up in some places besides just #include
statements, update/clean-up/remove those other places as well.

Note that compat/fsmonitor/fsm-path-utils-darwin.c previously got
away with violating the rule that all files must start with an include
of git-compat-util.h (or a short-list of alternate headers that happen
to include it first).  This change exposed the violation and caused it
to stop building correctly; fix it by having it include
git-compat-util.h first, as per policy.

Update 'git write-tree' to allow using the sparse-index in memory
without expanding to a full one.

The recursive algorithm for update_one() was already updated in 2de37c5
(cache-tree: integrate with sparse directory entries, 2021-03-03) to
handle sparse directory entries in the index. Hence we can just set the
requires-full-index to false for "write-tree".

The `p2000` tests demonstrate a ~96% execution time reduction for 'git
write-tree' using a sparse index:

Test                                           before  after
-----------------------------------------------------------------
2000.78: git write-tree (full-v3)              0.34    0.33 -2.9%
2000.79: git write-tree (full-v4)              0.32    0.30 -6.3%
2000.80: git write-tree (sparse-v3)            0.47    0.02 -95.8%
2000.81: git write-tree (sparse-v4)            0.45    0.02 -95.6%
