I think this direction makes sense.

  #define the_index (the_repository->index)

  1. There are some circular dependencies in the header files. We'd need
     repository.h to depend on cache.h to get the definition of
     index_state, but the latter includes repository.h. We'd need to
     break the index bits out of cache.h into index.h, which in turn
     requires breaking out some other parts. I did a sloppy job of it in
     the patch below.

  2. There are hundreds of spots that need to swap out "repo->index" for
     "&repo->index". In the patch below I just did enough to compile
     archive-zip.o, to illustrate. :)
