The "struct index_state" contains a "repo" member, which should be a
pointer to the repository for that index, but which due to us
constructing such structs on an ad-hoc basis in various places wasn't
always available.

I'd exclude 6/6 for now, as it seems to depend on some changes only
in 'next'.  Feel free to resend only that step with reduced scope so
that it applies to 'master', and send in incremental updates when
each of these topics that are only in 'next' graduates.

Okey, the 6/6 requires ds/omit-trailing-hash-in-index. As both it and
the 1-5/6 of this are in "next" now I think it's best that I just submit
the 6/6 stand-alone after both of those have graduated.

micro-nit: The commit message of 5/6 starts "As we'll see in a
subsequent commit..", which may need a slight tweak if 6/6 becomes 'far
away' in the commit tree.

Indeed.  

I'd use 

	Hopefully in some not so distant future, we'll get
	advantages from always initializing the "repo" member ...

for now.
