We cannot remove `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` yet, because the changes done only
remove the direct use of the_hash_algo and the_repository,
but 'USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE' is for all the global variables
that are still in use.
In particular wt-status.c still relies on the following globals,
* core_apply_sparse_checkout, this is already being addressed in an
ongoing patch series [1], so I intentionally did not modify it.
* comment_line_str and DEFAULT_ABBREV, these both still are used in
wt-status.c but they dont have any local instance in wt-status.c,
or in any other form.
Removing these would require a wider refactoring (adding in struct wt_status,
adding helper functions etc) and I believe is better handled as a separate patch series.
Though I require some guidance on the preferred approach for handling
comment_line_str and DEFAULT_ABBREV going forward.
Thanks for reviewing.
Best,
Shreyansh
