From: Andrzej Hunt <ajrhunt@xxxxxxxxxx>
repo_diff_setup() calls through to diff.c's static prep_parse_options(),
which in turn allocates a new array into diff_opts.parseopts.
diff_setup_done() is responsible for freeing that array, and has the
benefit of verifying diff_opts too - hence we add a call to
diff_setup_done() to avoid leaking parseopts.
Output from the leak as found while running t0090 with LSAN:
Direct leak of 7120 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
