The reason rerere(), rerere_forget() and rerere_remaining() take a
struct repository instead of struct index_state is not obvious from
the patch:
Deep in update_paths() and find_conflict(), hold_locked_index() and
read_index() are called. These functions assumes the index path at
$GIT_DIR/index which is not always true when you take an arbitrary
index state. Taking a repository will allow us to point to the right
index path later when we replace them with repo_ versions.
