Re: [PATCH 02/22] git: fix leaking system paths

> Git has some flags to make it output system paths as they have been
> compiled into Git. This is done by calling `system_path()`, which
> returns an allocated string. This string isn't ever free'd though,
> creating a memory leak.
>
> Plug those leaks. While they are surfaced by t0211, there are more
> memory leaks looming exposed by that test suite and it thus does not yet
> pass with the memory leak checker enabled.
