Coupled with your third patch, it made me wonder if capture_command() should free the strbuf when it sees an error. But probably not. Some callers would want to see the output even from a failing command (and doubly for pipe_command(), which may capture stderr). (And anyway, it wouldn't make this case any simpler; we were leaking in the success code path, too!) -Peff
