There is only one instance of grep_source_init(GREP_SOURCE_FILE), and in that case the path and identifier arguments are equal - not just as strings, but the same pointer is passed. So we can save some time and memory by reusing the gs->path = xstrdup_or_null(path) we have already done as gs->identifier, and changing grep_source_clear accordingly to avoid a double free.
