I think once you know about `the_repository` it isn't all that bad.
Whereas `initialize_repository()` initializes any repository,
`initialize_the_repository()` only initializes `the_repository`.
But you know, let's further simplify this and move all initialization
logic into `initialize_repository()` to make this hopefully clearer. And
on top of that we can then also drop `initialize_the_repository()`
completely by statically initializing the `the_repository` pointer so
that callers can simply call `initialize_repository(&the_repository)`
instead.
