From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx> When a commit is missing, we return early (currently pretending that no merge basis could be found in that case). At that stage, it is possible that a merge base could have been found already, and added to the `result`, which is now leaked. The priority queue has a similar issue: There might still be a commit in that queue. Let's release both, to address the potential memory leaks.
