Re: [PATCH 00/26] Moving global state into the repository object (part 1)

For now the ignore_env bit lives in the repository, as that helps
when working with submodules, when reading its comments.
Unfortunately 359efeffc1 (repository: introduce the repository
object, 2017-06-22) did not reason about the existence of the ignore_env
flag in its commit message.

So from that point of view, it may not matter where the "bit" lives,
among repository, object-store, or ref-store.

It matters on the scale of confusing the developer?

What I meant is that from the point of view, having the bit in the
data (not on the invocation) is confusing no matter which data
structure holds it--they are equally bad.
