Kirill Smelkov noticed that post-1.7.6 "git checkout" started leaking tons of memory. The streaming_write_entry function properly calls close_istream(), but that function did not actually free() the allocated git_istream struct. The git_istream struct is totally opaque to calling code, and must be heap-allocated by open_istream. Therefore it's not appropriate for callers to have to free it. This patch makes close_istream() into "close and de-allocate all associated resources". We could add a new "free_istream" call, but there's not much point in letting callers inspect the istream after close. And this patch's semantics make us match fopen/fclose, which is well-known and understood. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>maint
