Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/2] repository: have get_the_repository() to remove the_repository dependency
Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2018 11:37:57 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181018183758.81186-2-sbeller@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181018183758.81186-1-sbeller@google.com>

The struct 'the_repo' contains all data that of the main repository.
As we move more and more globals into this struct, the usual way of
accessing these is using 'the_repository', which can be used as a drop in
replacement for accessing the migrated globals.

However during the migration of globals into the repository object, it is
not clear if some code path rely on the_repository or can work on an
arbitrary repository (as we'd eventually want for submodules) due to the
excessive use of the_repository throughout the code base.

To address this, introduce a function 'get_the_repository(void)' which
will return the main repository and set the_repository to NULL when the
environment variable GIT_NO_THE_REPOSITORY is set.

This function is to be strictly used only at the beginning of builtin
command to assign it to a local repository pointer that we'll use to
pass through the code base.

By having the possibility to set the_repository to NULL, we'll get
a segfault when we try to access the_repository instead of using the
handle that we pass around.

This approach let's us have the_repository in the setup code, which
in its current form is not yet able to transition into a world where
the repository handle is passed around and only test the passing around
of the repository handle for later stage code.

Eventually in the future the setup code will produce the repository
handle and each 'cmd_foo(int argc, char **argv)' builtin would get the
repository via an additional parameter.
