Subject: [PATCH v2] init: plug tiny one-time memory leak
Date: Sun, 3 Oct 2010 23:34:27 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101004043427.GE24884@burratino> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <7vpqvqdelx.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org>

The buffer used to construct paths like ".git/objects/info" and
".git/objects/pack" is allocated on the heap and never freed.

So free it.  While at it, factor out the relevant code into its own
function and rename the sha1_dir variable to object_directory (to
match the change in everyday usage after the renaming of
SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORY in v0.99~603^2~7, 2005).

Noticed by valgrind while setting up tests (in test-lib).

Yes.
