Subject: [PATCH 10/11] userdiff: use git_config_string_dup() when we can
Date: Sat, 6 Apr 2024 21:04:50 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240407010450.GJ868358@coredump.intra.peff.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240407005656.GA436890@coredump.intra.peff.net>

There are many uses of git_config_string() in the userdiff code which
have the usual "leak when we see the variable multiple times" problem.
We can fix many of these in the usual way by switching to the _dup()
variant.

But note there are some adjacent ones we cannot fix right now: funcname
patterns and word regexes default to string literals, and we can't use
those with our dup variant (which would try to free the literals). For
now let's convert what we can.
