Subject: [PATCH] update-index: fix xgetcwd() related memory leak
Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2017 08:22:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170330062208.29018-1-chriscool@tuxfamily.org> (raw)
As xgetcwd() returns an allocated buffer, we should free this
buffer when we don't need it any more.
This was found by Coverity.
