Subject: [PATCH] fmt-merge-msg: plug small leak of commit buffer
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2015 14:25:35 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <xmqqegnljd80.fsf@gitster.dls.corp.google.com> (raw)

A broken or badly formatted commit might not record author or
committer lines; the function record_person() returned after
calling get_commit_buffer() without calling unuse_commit_buffer()
on the memory, potentially leaking it.

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox•com>

 * to be applied on bc6b8fc1 (use get_commit_buffer everywhere,
   2014-06-10)
