You want to be a bit stronger than "better compatibility" here (besides, it is unclear what you are trying to be compatible).
Since 9b1cb507 (builtin: add a repository parameter for builtin
functions, 2024-09-13), a built-in implementation like cmd_psuh
is called with a pointer to a "struct repository"; adjust the
examples to match the current practice.or something, perhaps?
