[PATCH v2 17/20] remote: fix leaking peer ref when expanding refmap

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Aug 22, 2024, 09:18 UTC
Message-ID
<662ec4e6484aa7fc495d528a0b58ef18e3be1953.1724315484.git.ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1724315484.git.ps@pks.im>

When expanding remote refs via the refspec in `get_expanded_map()`, we first copy the remote ref and then override its peer ref with the expanded name. This may cause a memory leak though in case the peer ref is already set, as this field is being copied by `copy_ref()`, as well.

Fix the leak by freeing the peer ref before we re-assign the field.
