It is somewhat sad that we cannot readily use FREE_AND_NULL() here.
If it casted away the constness (see the attached at the end), we
could have saved two lines from the above snippet.
The startup_info->original_cwd member is initialized to NULL, and
I think it is a safe assumption that it still is so when the control
reaches here. Otherwise, the assignment of strbuf_detach() to it
without first freeing the current value we see in the post context
is leaking already.
So, overall this looks good to me. Anybody else who have already
spent cycles to review this want to add Reviewed-by: to it?
Thanks.
