Subject: [PATCH 5/5] parseopt: restore const qualifier to parsed filename
Date: Sun,  2 Nov 2025 11:17:48 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cedd4c3dbf448ae479bca109f74e1dd6f64cac72.1762100242.git.ben.knoble+github@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1762100242.git.ben.knoble+github@gmail.com>

This was unintentionally dropped in ccfcaf399f (parseopt: values of
pathname type can be prefixed with :(optional), 2025-09-28). Notably,
continue dropping the const qualifier when free'ing value; see
4049b9cfc0 (fix const issues with some functions, 2007-10-16) or
83838d5c1b (cast variable in call to free() in builtin/diff.c and
submodule.c, 2011-11-06) for more details on why.
