The `struct repository;` forward declaration appears twice in `dir.h`:
once at line 10 and again at line 46. This duplication is unnecessary
and likely unintentional.

Removing the second declaration has no impact on compilation, as verified
by a clean build.

    Remove duplicate forward declaration of struct repository
    
    
    Summary
    =======
    
    While exploring how Git searches for .gitignore files and manages
    ignored files, I came across dir.h. While reading through the file, I
    noticed that struct repository; was forward-declared twice. This
    duplication appears unnecessary, and removing the second declaration
    compiles cleanly.
