[PATCH v9 9/9] environment: move object_creation_mode into repo_config_values

From: Tian Yuchen <hidden>
Date: 2026-07-09 16:12:40
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

The global variable 'object_creation_mode' controls how Git creates
object files, specifically determining whether to use hardlinks or
renames when moving temporary files into the object database. Move
it into 'struct repo_config_values' to continue the libification
effort.

Move the 'enum object_creation_mode' definition higher up in
'environment.h' to ensure it is visible to the structure. Initialize
the per-repository value to its default macro value
OBJECT_CREATION_MODE inside 'repo_config_values_init()'.

Update configuration parsing in 'git_default_core_config()' to write
directly to the repository-specific configuration structure.
