[PATCH 05/12] branch: FREE_AND_NULL instead of NULL'ing real_ref

From: Andrzej Hunt <ajrhunt@google.com>

real_ref was previously populated by dwim_ref(), which allocates new memory. We need to make sure to free real_ref when discarding it. (real_ref is already being freed at the end of create_branch() - but if we discard it early then it will leak.)

This fixes the following leak found while running t0002-t0099:

Direct leak of 5 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
