An alterative, as this is the only place we add to log->list, could be to make log->list take ownership of the string by not adding a _release() here but instead _detach(), I guess. It is also curious that at the end of shortlog_output(), we set the log->list.strdup_strings again to true immediately before calling string_list_clear() on it. I suspect that is unnecessary?
