[PATCH 3/4] tag: support arbitrary repositories in parse_tag()

From
René Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de>
Date
Dec 28, 2025, 18:10 UTC
Message-ID
<20251228181051.68724-4-l.s.r@web.de>
In-Reply-To
<20251228181051.68724-1-l.s.r@web.de>

Allow callers of parse_tag() pass in the repository to use. Let most of them pass in the_repository to get the same result as before. One of them has stopped using the_repository in ef9b0370da (sha1-name.c: store and use repo in struct disambiguate_state, 2019-04-16); let it pass in its stored repository.
