From: Stefan Beller Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2015 00:28:00 GMT Subject: [PATCH 03/15] read-cache: free cache entry in add_to_index in case of early return Message-ID: <1426897692-18322-4-git-send-email-sbeller@google.com> In-Reply-To: <1426897692-18322-1-git-send-email-sbeller@google.com> This frees `ce` would be leaking in the error path. Additionally a free is moved towards the return. This helps code readability as we often have this pattern of freeing resources just before return/exit and not in between the code.
