 * * GIT_REPOSITORY_OPEN_NO_SEARCH - Only open the repository if it can be

 *   start_path looking at parent directories.
 * * GIT_REPOSITORY_OPEN_CROSS_FS - Unless this flag is set, open will not
 *   continue searching across filesystem boundaries (i.e. when `st_dev`
 *   changes from the `stat` system call).  (E.g. Searching in a user's home
 *   directory "/home/user/source/" will not return "/.git/" as the found
 *   repo if "/" is a different filesystem than "/home".)
 * * GIT_REPOSITORY_OPEN_BARE - Open repository as a bare repo regardless
 *   of core.bare config, and defer loading config file for faster setup.
 *   Unlike `git_repository_open_bare`, this can follow gitlinks.
 * * GIT_REPOSITORY_OPEN_NO_DOTGIT - Do not check for a repository by
 *   appending /.git to the start_path; only open the repository if
 *   start_path itself points to the git directory.
 * * GIT_REPOSITORY_OPEN_FROM_ENV - Find and open a git repository,
 *   respecting the environment variables used by the git command-line
 *   tools. If set, `git_repository_open_ext` will ignore the other
 *   flags and the `ceiling_dirs` argument, and will allow a NULL `path`
 *   to use `GIT_DIR` or search from the current directory. The search
 *   for a repository will respect $GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES and

 *   respect $GIT_INDEX_FILE, $GIT_NAMESPACE, $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY, and

 *
 * * BARE   - Create a bare repository with no working directory.
 * * NO_REINIT - Return an GIT_EEXISTS error if the repo_path appears to
 *        already be an git repository.
 * * NO_DOTGIT_DIR - Normally a "/.git/" will be appended to the repo
 *        path for non-bare repos (if it is not already there), but
 *        passing this flag prevents that behavior.
 * * MKDIR  - Make the repo_path (and workdir_path) as needed.  Init is
 *        always willing to create the ".git" directory even without this
 *        flag.  This flag tells init to create the trailing component of
 *        the repo and workdir paths as needed.
 * * MKPATH - Recursively make all components of the repo and workdir
 *        paths as necessary.
 * * EXTERNAL_TEMPLATE - libgit2 normally uses internal templates to
 *        initialize a new repo.  This flags enables external templates,
 *        looking the "template_path" from the options if set, or the
 *        `init.templatedir` global config if not, or falling back on
 *        "/usr/share/git-core/templates" if it exists.
 * * GIT_REPOSITORY_INIT_RELATIVE_GITLINK - If an alternate workdir is
 *        specified, use relative paths for the gitdir and core.worktree.
