Subject: [PATCH 5/5] replay: prevent the_repository from coming back

From: "Elijah Newren via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 09:15:15 +0000

From: Elijah Newren <[email-masked]>

Due to the use of DEFAULT_ABBREV, we cannot get rid of our usage of
USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE.  We have removed all other uses of
the_repository before, but without removing that definition, they keep
coming back.

Define the_repository to make it a compilation error so that they don't
come back any more.
