The aim of this patch series is to remove the definition '#define USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE' from "preload-index.c" by removing global variables and the global 'the_repository'. This patch series contains two patches: 1 - Remove the global variable 'core_preload_index' and localize it in the function which calls it. 2 - Remove the dependency of 'the_repository' in "preload-index.c", allowing the removal of the definition. Removing these global variables is part of my GSoC project.
