From: Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx> If any error is noticed after the match_attr structure is allocated, we shouldn't just return NULL from this function. Add a fail_return label that frees the allocated structure and returns NULL, and consistently jump there when we want to return NULL after cleaning up.
