[PATCH 07/23] builtin/stash: fix leaking `pathspec_from_file`

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Sep 30, 2024, 09:13 UTC
Message-ID
<38b58f5b7470d3fb07396d62cecda3799d0b944c.1727687410.git.ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1727687410.git.ps@pks.im>

The `OPT_PATHSPEC_FROM_FILE()` option maps to `OPT_FILENAME()`, which we know will always allocate memory when passed. We never free the memory though, causing a memory leak. Plug it.
