[PATCH 11/10] cocci: remove obsolete the_repository rules

From
René Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de>
Date
Jan 15, 2026, 22:01 UTC
Message-ID
<cd6e8f5a-baaa-4c4d-9d2d-576d4b6a9a5e@web.de>
In-Reply-To
<20260109213021.2546-1-l.s.r@web.de>

035c7de9e9e (cocci: apply the "revision.h" part of "the_repository.pending", 2023-03-28) removed the last of the repo-less functions and macros mentioned in the_repository.cocci at the time. No stragglers appeared since then. Remove the applied rules now that they have outlived their usefulness.

Also add a reminder to eventually remove the just added rules for tree.h.
