From: Andrzej Hunt <ajrhunt@google.com>

parse_pathspec() allocates new memory into pathspec, therefore we need to free it when we're done.

An UNLEAK would probably be just as good here - but clear_pathspec() is not much more work so we might as well use it. check_ignore() is either called once directly from cmd_check_ignore() (in which case the leak really doesnt matter), or it can be called multiple times in a loop from check_ignore_stdin_paths(), in which case we're potentially leaking multiple times - but even in this scenario the leak is so small as to have no real consequence.

Found while running t0008:
