The proper hash algorithm and ref storage format that will be used for a newly initialized repository will be figured out in `init_db()` via `validate_hash_algorithm()` and `validate_ref_storage_format()`. Until now though, we never set up the hash algorithm or ref storage format of `the_repository` accordingly. There are only two callsites of `init_db()`, one in git-init(1) and one in git-clone(1). The former function doesn't care for the formats to be set up properly because it never access the repository after calling the function in the first place. For git-clone(1) it's a different story though, as we call `init_db()` before listing remote refs. While we do indeed have the wrong hash function in `the_repository` when `init_db()` sets up a non-default object format for the repository, it never mattered because we adjust the hash after learning about the remote's hash function via the listed refs. So the current state is correct for the hash algo, but it's not for the ref storage format because git-clone(1) wouldn't know to set it up properly. But instead of adjusting only the `ref_storage_format`, set both the hash algo and the ref storage format so that `the_repository` is in the correct state when `init_db()` exits. This is fine as we will adjust the hash later on anyway and makes it easier to reason about the end state of `the_repository`.
