Hi,
this patch series is another step to remove our dependency on the global
`the_repository` variable. The series focusses on subsystems related to
objects.
The intent here is to work towards libification of the whole subsystem
so that we can start splitting out something like an object "backend".
It is thus part of a set of refactorings aimed at allowing pluggable
object databases eventually. I'm not discussing that bigger effort yet,
mostly because it's still taking shape. So these patch series contains
things that make sense standalone, even if pluggable ODBs never get to
be a thing.
Note that this patch series stop short of dropping `the_repository` in
"object-file.c". This is a bigger undertaking, so I'm pushing that into
the next patch series.
The series is built on top of cb0ae672aea (A bit more post -rc0,
2025-02-27) with ps/path-sans-the-repository at 028f618658e (path:
adjust last remaining users of `the_repository`, 2025-02-07) merged into
it.
Changes in v2:
- Point out why t1050 had to be adapted.
- Drop the rename of `get_max_object_index()` and
`get_indexed_object()`.
- Fix a couple of commit message typos.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250303-b4-pks-objects-without-the-repository-v1-0-c5dd43f2476e@xxxxxx
Thanks!
Patrick

@@ Commit message
Refactor the code so that we instead store the value in `struct
repo_settings`, where the value is computed as-needed and cached.
+ Note that this change requires us to adapt one test in t1050 that
+ verifies that we die when parsing an invalid "core.bigFileThreshold"
+ value. The exercised Git command doesn't use the value at all, and thus
+ it won't hit the new code path that parses the value. This is addressed
+ by using git-hash-object(1) instead, which does read the value.
