[PATCH 21/21] environment: stop storing "core.notesRef" globally

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Aug 29, 2024, 09:39 UTC
Message-ID
<ecafe1585f8ec9a6862a45b86244305f3e1294ab.1724923648.git.ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1724923648.git.ps@pks.im>

Stop storing the "core.notesRef" config value globally. Instead, retrieve the value in `default_notes_ref()`. The code is never called in a hot loop anyway, so doing this on every invocation should be perfectly fine.
