Re: [PATCH] git cat-file: Fix memory leak in batch mode

> When run in batch mode, git cat-file never frees the memory for the blob
> contents it is printing. This quickly adds up and causes git-svn to be
> hardly usable for imports of large svn repos, because it uses cat-file in
> batch mode and cat-file's memory usage easily reaches several hundred MB
> without any good reason.
