In 52d59cc645 (branch: add a --copy (-c) option to go with --move (-m), 2017-06-18) a new strbuf variable was introduced, but not released. Thus, when copying a branch that has any configuration, we have a leak. $ git branch foo $ git config branch.foo.some-key some_value $ git branch -c foo bar Direct leak of 65 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from: ... in xrealloc wrapper.c ... in strbuf_grow strbuf.c ... in strbuf_vaddf strbuf.c ... in strbuf_addf strbuf.c ... in store_create_section config.c ... in git_config_copy_or_rename_section_in_file config.c ... in git_config_copy_section_in_file config.c ... in git_config_copy_section config.c ... in copy_or_rename_branch builtin/branch.c ... in cmd_branch builtin/branch.c ... in run_builtin git.c Let's fix that leak.
