Similar to the earlier patch series on cleaning up packfile.c and removing usage of global variables [1], we change the midx.c and midx-write.c files to no longer use global variables. This is done by the following: - Usage of repository variable already available in existing structs. - Passing down repository variable from other subsystems. - Modifying all subcommands to obtain repository variable from the command in `builtins/` and passing down the variable from there. The biggest change is in the first commit, wherein we modify all subcommands to add the repository variable. Since the subcommand definition are not often changed, it shouldn't cause too many conflicts with in flight topics.
Overall I like the way it's done. I found a few improvements that could be made to some commit messages though. Thanks.
