Let's make a mental note that the function receives these parameters:

static int parse_and_validate_options(int argc, const char *argv[],
				      const struct option *options,
				      const char * const usage[],
				      const char *prefix,
				      struct commit *current_head,
				      struct wt_status *s)

"the_repository" can become "s->repo".  The same comment for other
checks in this block.
