Here's what that looks like, the first patch adds get_worktree_from_repository() and uses it to avoid passing a NULL worktree to worktree_git_path(). The second patch then removes the repository argument from that function and always uses wt->repo instead.

Shreyansh - I think your patches to clean up wt-status.c can probably proceed separately to these if you remove the changes to wt_status_check_{bisect,rebase}().
