We have a global pointer pack_data pointing to the current pack we have open. Inside end_packfile we have two new pointers, old_p and new_p. The latter points to pack_data, and the former points to the new "installed" version of the packfile we get when we hand the file off to the regular sha1_file machinery. When then free old_p. Presumably the extra old_p pointer was there so that we could overwrite pack_data with new_p and still free old_p, but we don't do that. We just leave pack_data pointing to bogus memory, and don't overwrite it until we call start_packfile again (if ever). This can cause problems for our die routine, which calls end_packfile to clean things up. If we die at the wrong moment, we can end up looking at invalid memory in pack_data left after the last end_packfile(). Instead, let's make sure we set pack_data to NULL after we free it, and make calling endfile() again with a NULL pack_data a noop (there is nothing to end). We can further make things less confusing by dropping old_p entirely, and moving new_p closer to its point of use.
