[PATCH] prune-packed: remove USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE

From: Shashank S via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date: Oct 18, 2026, 16:31 UTC
Message-ID: <pull.2266.git.1792341073005.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Shashank <shashu8660@gmail.com>

Right now, the prune_packed_objects() function uses the global the_repository variable. To help with the libification effort, change this function so it takes a 'struct repository' pointer as an argument instead.

The function for_each_loose_file_in_source() uses a callback that only takes a single 'void *data' pointer. This means we cannot pass both the repository pointer and the 'opts' integer at the same time. To fix this, create a new 'struct prune_data' to hold both of them together, and update the prune_subdir() and prune_object() callbacks to read from this new struct.

Update the builtins that call this function (builtin/prune-packed.c, builtin/prune.c, and builtin/repack.c) to pass their local `repo` variables. Because we are now actually using the 'repo' parameter in these files, we can safely remove the UNUSED macro from them.

finally, drop the USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE macro from prune-packed.c.
