The repository helper is used in t5318 to read commit graphs whether
we're in a repository or not. However, without a repository, we have no
way to properly initialize the hash algorithm, meaning that the file is
misread.

Fix this by calling setup_git_directory_gently, which will read the
environment variable the testsuite sets to ensure that the correct hash
algorithm is set.

No need to initialize nongit_ok to any specific value before calling
setup_git_directory_gently() and I personally find this initialization
unhelpful to new readers, as it misleadingly hints the setup process
may be affected by the value passed in by the value in nongit_ok,
when in reality the variable is purely used as outout-only (the
first thing the function does is to clear it).

Was it necessary to work around a compiler warning or something?

I don't recall, but since this seems to be the only place we do that, I
assume it's not, and I'll just drop it.
