[PATCH v2 20/24] t/test-repository: fix leaking repository

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Aug 1, 2024, 10:40 UTC
Message-ID
<eb58826b146c88654ef20ab5c28948ee027b4d25.1722499961.git.ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1722499961.git.ps@pks.im>

The test-repository test helper zeroes out `the_repository` such that it can be sure that our codebase only ends up using the supplied repository that we initialize in the respective helper functions. This does cause memory leaks though as the data that `the_repository` has been holding onto is not referenced anymore.

Fix this by calling `repo_clear()` instead.
