[PATCH 19/23] revision: fix leaking saved parents

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Sep 30, 2024, 09:14 UTC
Message-ID
<89892e49e5d1cd0aa72364b686950d1bcbbfd92f.1727687410.git.ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1727687410.git.ps@pks.im>

The `saved_parents` slab is used by `--full-diff` to save parents of a commit which we are about to rewrite. We do not release its contents once it's not used anymore, causing a memory leak. Plug it.
