Actually, nevermind. I thought there was an issue with freeing via the results of basename(), but there isn't. There is a minor memory leak, but it's best squashed into my original patch, like so:
-- >8 -- Subject: [PATCH] connect.c: handle errors from split_cmdline
Commit e9d9a8a4d (connect: handle putty/plink also in GIT_SSH_COMMAND, 2017-01-02) added a call to split_cmdline(), but checks only for a non-zero return to see if we got any output. Since the function returns negative values (and a NULL argv) on error, we end up dereferencing NULL and segfaulting.
Arguably we could report on the parsing error here, but it's probably not worth it. This is a best-effort attempt to see if we are using plink. So we can simply return here with "no, it wasn't plink" and let the shell actually complain about the bogus quoting.
While we're here, let's also fix the leak when our split fails (as it turns out, split_cmdline can never return 0, so this leak wasn't actually triggerable before).
