The aim of this patch series is to remove the definition '#define USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE' from "builtin/prune.c" by removing global variables and the global 'the_repository'.

This patch series contains two patches:

1 - Move the global variable 'repository_format_precious_objects' into 'struct repository' and update all affected code paths accordingly.

2 - Remove the dependency of 'the_repository' in "builtin/prunce.c", allowing the removal of the definition.
