NACK. Now networkGetBridgeName returns NULL always, that's wrong.

Why do you think that there is a leak?

The caller of virNetworkGetBridgeName has to free the allocated string:

Yeah, I have also found the root reason of leak in cmdNetworkInfo function.

      virNetworkFree(network);
      return true;
  }

Note: remote memory leak are a known bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690734,
       so this patch only fix network memory leak.
Judging by a quick look at the code this two leaks should not be
possible? Are you working on current git? Anyway, I'll leave those to
you.
Upstream is okay, I use libvirt-0.9.3-3.el6.x86_64 rpm installation on my another
machine, it seems we haven't picked up some patches into libvirt for rhelx.y.
