In `do_diff_cache()` we initialize a new `rev_info` and then overwrite its `diffopt` with a user-provided set of options. This can leak memory because `repo_init_revisions()` may end up allocating memory for the `diffopt` itself depending on the configuration. And since that field is overwritten we won't ever free it. Plug the memory leak by releasing the diffopts before we overwrite them.
