This mistake has been present since Ævar added this function in
759f340738 (repository.c: free the "path cache" in repo_clear(),
2022-03-04), so it isn't the result of someone else coming along and
adding a new field to the structure which needs freeing but then
botching the call to FREE_AND_NULL(). Moreover, this function does
free all the freeable members of repo_path_cache, hence, nothing is
being leaked, so it must have just been a silly copy/paste mistake in
the first place. Hence, this change makes sense. |
