Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] merge-recursive: fix memory leak

From: Kevin Willford <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2017 10:25:54 -0600

In merge_trees if process_renames or process_entry returns less
than zero, the method will just return and not free re_merge,
re_head, or entries.

This change cleans up the allocated variables before returning
to the caller.
