From 55fe225dde455ae32b9bc963bef4aabb9f5f7c3e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2020 17:33:16 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] submodule--helper: fix leak of core.worktree value In the ensure_core_worktree() function, we load the core.worktree value of the submodule repository using repo_config_get_string(). This function copies the string, but we never free it, leaking the memory. We can instead use the "tmp" version of that function to avoid the allocation at all. We don't have to worry about lifetime issues, since we never even look at the value (we just want to know if it's set).
