Remove duplicate forward declaration of struct repository

[Ethan0456]

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.
