Replace the_repository with the repository argument that gets passed
down through the builtin function.

This looks OK, but unlike the original, write_archive() now needs to
be prepared to see NULL in the repo parameter.  Is that reasonable?

Perdon me to think aloud for a bit.

The context before this hunk handles "git archive --remote" which
can be run outside a repository (and that is the whole reason why we
ask SETUP_GENTLY), but this part has to happen in a repository,
doesn't it?  Or is there some mode of operation of "git archive" I
am forgetting that can be done without a repository?

	... goes and looks ...

OK, write_archive() has its own setup_git_directory() call when
startup_info->have_repository is false, so this happens to be OK,
until the beginning part of archive.c:write_archive() will not
changed to start dereferencing "repo" pointer.

That sounds brittle, but probalby outside the scope of what this
patch series wants to address.  It also makes git_config() calls
even before it realizes there is no repository and dies, which
smells fishy without actually doing any harm.

So, after all, I think this step is probably OK.

Thanks.
