[PATCH] fix memleak from tree pathspec in git-blame

From: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date: Sep 4, 2007, 06:54 UTC
Message-ID: <7vir6q7wf8.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org>

We repeatedly run diff-tree while finding code movements. The pathspec data is changed into a list of paths and their lengths for quicker access by diff_tree_setup_paths(), and you need to release the extra memory when you are done using that pathspec data.

Not releasing it is not a problem for "git log -- path" (or its plumbing equivalent "git rev-list -- paths"), because the pathspec never changes during the traversal, but it was noticeable for blame especially with -C -C.
