Re: [PATCH] repository: fix a sparse 'using integer a NULL pointer' warning

Commit 67a9dfcc00 ("hash-algo: integrate hash algorithm support with
repo setup", 21-08-2017) added a 'const struct git_hash_algo *hash_algo'
field to the repository structure, without modifying the initializer
of the 'the_repo' variable. This does not actually introduce a bug,
since the '0' initializer for the 'ignore_env:1' bit-field is
interpreted as a NULL pointer (hence the warning), and the final field
(now with no initializer) receives a default '0'.

Hi Brian,

If you need to re-roll your 'bc/hash-algo' branch, could you please
squash this into the relevant patch.

Of course, thanks.  I'll almost certainly be doing a reroll since it's
an RFC series and I expect to get more feedback on it.
