The aim of this patch series is to remove the definition '#define USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE' 
from "preload-index.c" by removing global variables and the global 'the_repository'.

This patch series contains two patches:

1 - Remove the global variable 'core_preload_index' and localize it in the function which calls it.

2 - Remove the dependency of 'the_repository' in "preload-index.c", allowing the removal of 
the definition.

Removing these global variables is part of my GSoC project.

Ayush Chandekar (2):
  environment: remove the global variable 'core_preload_index'
  preload-index: stop depending on 'the_repository'
