Hi,

this patch series refactors the ref subsystem to drop uses of
`the_repository`. These patches were part of a discarded attempt to
make the initialization of the refdb eager. I guess they make sense by
themselves though, so here we go.

Note that these patches contain a slight tangent to also adapt
"worktree.c". This is one of the subsystems that caused problems with
eager refdb initialization because of `has_worktrees()`, so I refactored
this subsystem while at it.

The changes in this series look good to me too.

Thanks, all, for helping this topic.  Let's merge it down to 'next',
then.
