I _really_ like that direction. Anything that removes global state will improve Git's source code.

It is too bad that `read-cache.h` is not `the_repository`-free at the moment...

I would actually prefer to use the `repo_config_get_*()` family here. That way, we really avoid re-parsing the config.

Hmm. I can see that you wanted to encapsulate this, but I do not really agree that this needs to be encapsulated away from `repository.h`. I'd rather declare `struct repo_settings` in `repository.h` and then make the `settings` a field of that type (as opposed to a pointer to that type). In general, I like to avoid unnecessary `malloc()`s, and this here instance is one of them.

Thanks, Dscho
