[PATCH 10/21] environment: make `get_git_namespace()` self-contained

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Aug 29, 2024, 09:38 UTC
Message-ID
<0b3916b2d0d33215a86fcbb79302aa6f145e89fc.1724923648.git.ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1724923648.git.ps@pks.im>

The logic to set up and retrieve `git_namespace` is distributed across different functions which communicate with each other via a global environment variable. This is rather pointless though, as the value is always derived from an environment variable, and this environment variable does not change after we have parsed global options.

Convert the function to be fully self-contained such that it lazily populates once called.
