[PATCH v6 3/4] environment: move trust_executable_bit into repo_config_values

From: Tian Yuchen <cat@malon.dev>
Date: Jul 16, 2026, 08:49 UTC
Message-ID: <20260716084941.1101918-4-cat@malon.dev>
In-Reply-To: <20260716084941.1101918-1-cat@malon.dev>

Move the global 'trust_executable_bit' configuration into the repository-specific 'repo_config_values' struct.

To ensure code readability, the getter function 'repo_trust_executable_bit()' has been introduced. Callers access this configuration by passing in 'repo' when possible, and explicitly fall back to 'the_repository' the rest of time.
