Somewhat unrelated to this patch series, but I was wondering whether you
plan to drop the limitation in `repo_config_values()` that requires that
the passed-in repository is `the_repository`. This limitation is
starting to create problems as more and more of our infrastructure is
migrating into `struct repo_config_values`, so using a different repo
than `the_repository` is starting to become harder and harder in our
codebase.

Thanks!
