This is an old one. The leak was introduced by v1.7.9-rc1~1^2~12
(format-patch: use branch description in cover letter, 2011-09-21).
I was a little scared to see a leak in 'git log' code, since most of
what log does involves looping over many commits. Luckily this one is
only used in make_cover_letter to create a cover letter describing the
single branch on the command line, making it is a small, one-time
leak.
Less noise from static and dynamic analysis tools is still worthwhile,
so for what it's worth,
