Andrzej Hunt db69bf608d revision: free remainder of old commit list in limit_list
limit_list() iterates over the original revs->commits list, and consumes
many of its entries via pop_commit. However we might stop iterating over
the list early (e.g. if we realise that the rest of the list is
uninteresting). If we do stop iterating early, list will be pointing to
the unconsumed portion of revs->commits - and we need to free this list
to avoid a leak. (revs->commits itself will be an invalid pointer: it
will have been free'd during the first pop_commit.)

However the list pointer is later reused to iterate over our new list,
but only for the limiting_can_increase_treesame() branch. We therefore
need to introduce a new variable for that branch - and while we're here
we can rename the original list to original_list as that makes its
purpose more obvious.

This leak was found while running t0090. It's not likely to be very
impactful, but it can happen quite early during some checkout
invocations, and hence seems to be worth fixing:

Direct leak of 16 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org.
