non-obvoius comptime parameters

[sineptic]

While I red repo, I had question in my mind: For what reason

comptime repo_kind: rp.RepoKind,
comptime any_repo_opts: rp.AnyRepoOpts(repo_kind),

are passed everywhere.

1. Why Command and CommandDispatch are generic around them, if they do not use those parameters at all? (I deleted it, making plain struct/union and everything continued working.)
2. Do you have plan on using .xit and .git repo (storage?) kinds at the same time? If no, why you wouldn't store them as global constants for example in configuration.zig like that:

const xit = @import("xit");
pub const repo_kind: xit.repo.RepoKind = .xit;
pub const any_repo_opts: xit.repo.AnyRepoOpts(repo_kind) = .{};

and access on demand, not passing them from main function?

I'm not saying it is wrong, but just can't wrap my head around.

You're right. The reason Command and CommandDispatch are generic is because I copied the code from xit, which actually needs them to be generic. I will fix it.

Yeah I probably don't need to pass repo_kind at all in haxy since the server-side repos will always be in the xit format. I will probably keep it there for now though, so it is easy to run experiments where I store repos in the git repo format.
