[PATCH] receive-pack: plug minor memory leak in unpack()

From
René Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de>
Date
Oct 11, 2014, 11:00 UTC
Message-ID
<54390DC0.8060302@web.de>

The argv_array used in unpack() is never freed. Instead of adding explicit calls to argv_array_clear() use the args member of struct child_process and let run_command() and friends clean up for us.
