From: Andrzej Hunt <ajrhunt@xxxxxxxxxx> mailinfo.p_hdr_info/s_hdr_info are null-terminated lists of strbuf's, with entries pointing either to NULL or an allocated strbuf. Therefore we need to free those strbuf's (and not just the data they contain) whenever we're done with a given entry. (See handle_header() where those new strbufs are malloc'd.) Once we no longer need the list (and not just its entries) we can switch over to strbuf_list_free() instead of manually iterating over the list, which takes care of those additional details for us. We can only do this in clear_mailinfo() - in handle_commit_message() we are only clearing the array contents but want to reuse the array itself, hence we can't use strbuf_list_free() there.
