namespaces: pass repo to __init__

We store repo as a weakref so that we can prevent a cycle between namespaces
and localrepo.

from mercurial import util
import weakref

def tolist(val):
    """
    a convenience method to return an empty list instead of None
    """
    if val is None:
        return []
    else:
        return [val]

class namespaces(object):
    """
    provides an interface to register a generic many-to-many mapping between
    some (namespaced) names and nodes. The goal here is to control the
    pollution of jamming things into tags or bookmarks (in extension-land) and
    to simplify internal bits of mercurial: log output, tab completion, etc.

    More precisely, we define a list of names (the namespace) and  a mapping of
    names to nodes. This name mapping returns a list of nodes.

    Furthermore, each name mapping will be passed a name to lookup which might
    not be in its domain. In this case, each method should return an empty list
    and not raise an error.

    We'll have a dictionary '_names' where each key is a namespace and
    its value is a dictionary of functions:
      'namemap': function that takes a name and returns a list of nodes
