[PATCH 24/26] name-rev: avoid leaking memory in the `deref` case

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When the `name_rev()` function is asked to dereference the tip name, it
allocates memory. But when it turns out that another tip already
described the commit better than the current one, we forgot to release
the memory.

Pointed out by Coverity.
