Subject: [PATCH] commit: Fix a memory leak in determine_author_info
Date: Sun, 14 Jul 2013 16:01:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1373810463-7144-1-git-send-email-stefanbeller@googlemail.com> (raw)

The date variable is assigned new memory via xmemdupz and 2 lines later
it is assigned new memory again via xmalloc, but the first assignment
is never freed nor used.
