Subject: refs: remove the_hash_algo global state
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9a03f165a41d708c672e18e69d43f69689981e7d;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git

refs: remove the_hash_algo global state

refs.c uses the_hash_algo in multiple places, relying on global state for
the object hash algorithm. Replace these uses with the appropriate
repository-specific hash_algo. In transaction-related functions
(ref_transaction_create, ref_transaction_delete, migrate_one_ref, and
transaction_hook_feed_stdin), use transaction->ref_store->repo->hash_algo.
In other cases, such as repo_get_submodule_ref_store(), use
repo->hash_algo.
