In future versions of Git, we plan to support an additional hash
algorithm. Integrate the enumeration of hash algorithms with repository
setup, and store a pointer to the enumerated data in struct repository.
Of course, we currently only support SHA-1, so hard-code this value in
read_repository_format. In the future, we'll enumerate this value from
the configuration.
Add a constant, the_hash_algo, which points to the hash_algo structure
pointer in the repository global. Note that this is the hash which is
used to serialize data to disk, not the hash which is used to display
items to the user. The transition plan anticipates that these may be
different. We can add an additional element in the future (say,
ui_hash_algo) to provide for this case.
Include repository.h in cache.h since we now need to have access to
these struct and variable definitions.

Have 'repo_read_index()' behave more like the other read_index family of
functions and don't discard the index if it has already been populated
and instead rely on the quick return of read_index_from which has:
/* istate->initialized covers both .git/index and .git/sharedindex.xxx */
if (istate->initialized)
return istate->cache_nr;

Introduce 'repo_submodule_init()' which performs initialization of a
'struct repository' as a submodule of another 'struct repository'.
The resulting submodule 'struct repository' can be in one of three states:
1. The submodule is initialized and has a worktree.
2. The submodule is initialized but does not have a worktree. This
would occur when the submodule's gitdir is present in the
superproject's 'gitdir/modules/' directory yet the submodule has not
been checked out in superproject's worktree.
3. The submodule remains uninitialized due to an error in the
initialization process or there is no matching submodule at the
provided path in the superproject.

Refactor how 'the_submodule_cache' is handled so that it can be stored
inside of a repository object. Also migrate 'the_submodule_cache' to be
stored in 'the_repository'.

Teach the config machinery to read config information from a repository
object. This involves storing a 'struct config_set' inside the
repository object and adding a number of functions (repo_config*) to be
able to query a repository's config.
The current config API enables lazy-loading of the config. This means
that when 'git_config_get_int()' is called, if the_config_set hasn't
been populated yet, then it will be populated and properly initialized by
reading the necessary config files (system wide .gitconfig, user's home
.gitconfig, and the repository's config). To maintain this paradigm,
the new API to read from a repository object's config will also perform
this lazy-initialization.
Since both APIs (git_config_get* and repo_config_get*) have the same
semantics we can migrate the default config to be stored within
'the_repository' and just have the 'git_config_get*' family of functions
redirect to the 'repo_config_get*' functions.

Introduce the repository object 'struct repository' which can be used to
hold all state pertaining to a git repository.
Some of the benefits of object-ifying a repository are:
1. Make the code base more readable and easier to reason about.
2. Allow for working on multiple repositories, specifically
submodules, within the same process. Currently the process for
working on a submodule involves setting up an argv_array of options
for a particular command and then launching a child process to
execute the command in the context of the submodule. This is
clunky and can require lots of little hacks in order to ensure
correctness. Ideally it would be nice to simply pass a repository
and an options struct to a command.
3. Eliminating reliance on global state will make it easier to
enable the use of threading to improve performance.
