The patch leaves some instances of this case that would require
additional changes rather than simply replacing the arguments passed to
the function call.

- Only update sites that do not introduce any functional changes.

How did you make sure that the places touched by this patch do not?

How do you deal with repo==NULL case in these code paths?

I verified by running the entire test suite which passed fine. In
addition to that the methods in `repository.c` should already handle
such a case if the `repo` were to ever be NULL or not initialized as the
same pointer is what is passed to all callers.

Also the repo should always be NOT NULL and then git just throws an
error about the inexistence of it.
