Subject: hash-object: fix a trivial leak in --path
X-Git-Tag: v2.36.0-rc0~130^2
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d17294a05e7601b5139e09609fd0f805ac78271b;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git

hash-object: fix a trivial leak in --path

Fix a memory leak that happened when the --path option was
provided. This leak has been with us ever since the option was added
in 39702431500 (add --path option to git hash-object, 2008-08-03).

We can now mark "t1007-hash-object.sh" as passing when git is compiled
with SANITIZE=leak. It'll now run in the the
"GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true" test mode (the "linux-leaks" CI
target).
