[PATCH 06/23] submodule: fix leaking submodule entry list

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Sep 30, 2024, 09:13 UTC
Message-ID
<7781d7644e9f76a6638cabc0412d583ad703905d.1727687410.git.ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1727687410.git.ps@pks.im>

The submodule entry list returned by `submodules_of_tree()` is never completely free'd by its only caller. Introduce a new function that free's the list for us and call it.

While at it, also fix the leaking `branch_point` string.
