Subject: [PATCH v2] builtin/mktree: remove USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE

From: Tian Yuchen <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 00:42:03 +0800

The 'cmd_mktree()' function already receives a 'struct repository *repo'
pointer, but it was previously marked as UNUSED.

Pass the 'repo' pointer down to 'mktree_line()' and 'write_tree()'.
Consequently, remove the 'USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE' macro, replace
usages of 'the_repository', and swap 'parse_oid_hex()' with its context-aware
version 'parse_oid_hex_algop()'.

This refactoring is safe because 'cmd_mktree()' is registered with the
'RUN_SETUP' flag in 'git.c', which guarantees that the command is
executed within a initialized repository, ensuring that the passed 'repo'
pointer is never 'NULL'.
