Re: [PATCH] loose: don't rely on repository global state

> In `loose.c`, we rely on the global variable `the_hash_algo`. As such we
> have guarded the file with the 'USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE' definition.
> Let's derive the hash algorithm from the available repository variable
> and remove this guard. This brings us one step closer to removing the
> global 'the_repository' variable.
