In-Reply-To: <pull.2048.v2.git.1771552788.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com>

Due to the use of DEFAULT_ABBREV, we cannot get rid of our usage of USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE. We have removed all other uses of the_repository before, but without removing that definition, they keep coming back.

Define the_repository to make it a compilation error so that they don't come back any more.
