[PATCH 2/4] shallow: fix memory leak when registering shallow roots

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Nov 6, 2023, 10:45 UTC
Message-ID
<137c150e358a8248200e0c7174a79358adb92e45.1699267422.git.ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1699267422.git.ps@pks.im>

When registering shallow roots, we unset the list of parents of the to-be-registered commit if it's already been parsed. This causes us to leak memory though because we never free this list. Fix this.
