<content type='text'>
In "config.c" we host both the business logic to read and write config
files as well as the logic to parse specific Git-related variables. On
the one hand this is mixing concerns, but even more importantly it means
that we cannot easily remove the dependency on `the_repository` in our
config parsing logic.

Move the logic into "environment.c". This file is a grab bag of all
kinds of global state already, so it is quite a good fit. Furthermore,
it also hosts most of the global variables that we're parsing the config
values into, making this an even better fit.

Note that there is one hidden change: in `parse_fsync_components()` we
use an `int` to iterate through `ARRAY_SIZE(fsync_component_names)`. But
as -Wsign-compare warnings are enabled in this file this causes a
compiler warning. The issue is fixed by using a `size_t` instead.

This change allows us to drop the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE`
declaration.

Introduce a compatibility wrapper so that any in-flight topics will
continue to compile.

The functions to manage alternates all depend on `the_repository`.
Refactor them to accept an object database as a parameter and adjust all
callers. The functions are renamed accordingly.

Note that right now the situation is still somewhat weird because we end
up using the object store path provided by the object store's repository
anyway. Consequently, we could have instead passed in a pointer to the
repository instead of passing in the pointer to the object store. This
will be addressed in subsequent commits though, where we will start to
use the path owned by the object store itself.

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>object-store: rename `object_directory` to `odb_source`</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/git/commit/?id=a1e2581a1e9ca2a85ae0a018ba5fb8fe5db3c322'/>
<id>urn:sha1:a1e2581a1e9ca2a85ae0a018ba5fb8fe5db3c322</id>
<content type='text'>
The `object_directory` structure is used as an access point for a single
object directory like ".git/objects". While the structure isn't yet
fully self-contained, the intent is for it to eventually contain all
information required to access objects in one specific location.

While the name "object directory" is a good fit for now, this will
change over time as we continue with the agenda to make pluggable object
databases a thing. Eventually, objects may not be accessed via any kind
of directory at all anymore, but they could instead be backed by any
kind of durable storage mechanism. While it seems quite far-fetched for
now, it is thinkable that eventually this might even be some form of a
database, for example.

As such, the current name of this structure will become worse over time
as we evolve into the direction of pluggable ODBs. Immediate next steps
will start to carve out proper self-contained object directories, which
requires us to pass in these object directories as parameters. Based on
our modern naming schema this means that those functions should then be
named after their subsystem, which means that we would start to bake the
current name into the codebase more and more.

Let's preempt this by renaming the structure. There have been a couple
alternatives that were discussed:

  - `odb_backend` was discarded because it led to the association that
    one object database has a single backend, but the model is that one
    alternate has one backend. Furthermore, "backend" is more about the
    actual backing implementation and less about the high-level concept.

  - `odb_alternate` was discarded because it is a bit of a stretch to
    also call the main object directory an "alternate".

Instead, pick `odb_source` as the new name. It makes it sufficiently
clear that there can be multiple sources and does not cause confusion
when mixed with the already-existing "alternate" terminology.

In the future, this change allows us to easily introduce for example a
`odb_files_source` and other format-specific implementations.

<title>object-store: rename `raw_object_store` to `object_database`</title>
<updated>2025-07-01T21:46:33Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Patrick Steinhardt</name>
<email>ps@pks.im</email>
</author>
<published>2025-07-01T12:22:13Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/git/commit/?id=1ace06644926bcf1f05e291e8a9476c977c25eeb'/>
<id>urn:sha1:1ace06644926bcf1f05e291e8a9476c977c25eeb</id>
<content type='text'>
The `raw_object_store` structure is the central entry point for reading
and writing objects in a repository. The main purpose of this structure
is to manage object directories and provide an interface to access and
write objects in those object directories.

Right now, many of the functions associated with the raw object store
implicitly rely on `the_repository` to get access to its `objects`
pointer, which is the `raw_object_store`. As we want to generally get
rid of using `the_repository` across our codebase we will have to
convert this implicit dependency on this global variable into an
explicit parameter.

This conversion can be done by simply passing in an explicit pointer to
a repository and then using its `-&gt;objects` pointer. But there is a
second effort underway, which is to make the object subsystem more
selfcontained so that we can eventually have pluggable object backends.
As such, passing in a repository wouldn't make a ton of sense, and the
goal is to convert the object store interfaces such that we always pass
in a reference to the `raw_object_store` instead.

This will expose the `raw_object_store` type to a lot more callers
though, which surfaces that this type is named somewhat awkwardly. The
"raw_" prefix makes readers wonder whether there is a non-raw variant of
the object store, but there isn't. Furthermore, we nowadays want to name
functions in a way that they can be clearly attributed to a specific
subsystem, but calling them e.g. `raw_object_store_has_object()` is just
too unwieldy, even when dropping the "raw_" prefix.

Instead, rename the structure to `object_database`. This term is already
used a lot throughout our codebase, and it cannot easily be mistaken for
"object directories", either. Furthermore, its acronym ODB is already
well-known and works well as part of a function's name, like for example
`odb_has_object()`.
