The git_connect() function has a special CONNECT_DIAG_URL mode, where we stop short of actually connecting to the other side and just print some parsing details. For URLs that require a child process (like ssh), we free() the child_process struct but forget to clear it, leaking the strings we stuffed into its "env" list. This leak is triggered many times in t5500, which uses "fetch-pack --diag-url", but we're not yet ready to mark it as leak-free.
