detect_and_process_renames() detects renames on both sides of history
and then combines these into a single diff_queue_struct.  The combined
diff_queue_struct needs to be able to hold the renames found on either
side, and since it knows the (maximum) size it needs, it pre-emptively
grows the array to the appropriate size:

ALLOC_GROW(combined.queue,
   renames->pairs[1].nr + renames->pairs[2].nr,
   combined.alloc);

It then collects the items from each side:

collect_renames(opt, &combined, MERGE_SIDE1, ...)
collect_renames(opt, &combined, MERGE_SIDE2, ...)

Note, though, that collect_renames() sometimes determines that some
pairs are unnecessary and does not include them in the combined array.
When it is done, detect_and_process_renames() frees this memory:

if (combined.nr) {
                ...
free(combined.queue);
        }

The problem is that sometimes even when there are pairs, none of them
are necessary.  Instead of checking combined.nr, just remove the
if-check; free() knows to skip NULL pointers.  This change fixes the
following memory leak, as reported by valgrind:
