Hmph.

I somehow expected that odb would know what repository it was instanciated to work with, or in the worst case where in-core odb is in theory sharable among multiple in-core repositories, at least begin_odb_transaction() would take <repository, odb> pair and the transaction would know for which repository the transaction is working for.

Do we need bulk_checkin_packfile as a separate structure and pass it around, or would these internal functions be better off passing an instance of odb_transaction around and learn the repository from odb->repo?
