I am new to the git community and while searching for issues to solve I found the issue linked above. I figured solving it would give me a good experience navigating and exploring the huge repository.

Initially I grepped to find all functions using `the_repository` but randomly chose object.c since the refactoring had to start somewhere. Special thanks to Johannes Schindelin for this.

I probably did not check the preview I sent to myself carefully for this. Will make note of it.
