copy: drop dependency on `the_repository`
When copying a file we need to potentially adapt permissions of the new file based on whether or not "core.shared" is enabled. Parsing this configuration makes us implicitly depend on `the_repository`. Refactor the code to instead require the caller to pass in a repository so that we can remove `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE`.
