Subject: [PATCH v2 6/6] repository: drop `initialize_the_repository()`
Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2024 14:14:33 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ed722b9b4b2d0d173eff2945812e6a15d6470c38.1713442061.git.ps@pks.im> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1713442061.git.ps@pks.im>

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 4465 bytes --]

Now that we have dropped `the_index`, `initialize_the_repository()`
doesn't really do a lot anymore except for setting up the pointer for
`the_repository` and then calling `initialize_repository()`. The former
can be replaced by statically initializing the pointer though, which
basically makes this function moot.

Convert callers to instead call `initialize_repository(the_repository)`
and drop `initialize_thee_repository()`.
