Since it seems this patch has been inactive for some time, I have revised the comments according to Taylor's feedback and submitted a new version.
This patch prevents pack-bitmap.c:load_bitmap() from nulling bitmap_git->bitmap when loading failed. Thus eliminates memory leak. This patch also add a test case in t5310 which use clang leak sanitizer to detect whether leak happens when loading failed.

, but won't since load_bitmap() already called kh_destroy_oid_map() and
- NULL'd the "bitmaps" pointer from within its "failed" label.

- So I think if you got part of the way through loading bitmap entries and

The solution is to remove the error handling code in load_bitmap(), because
its caller will always call free_bitmap_index() in case of an error.

pack-bitmap: add load corrupt bitmap test
- This patch add test_bitmap_list_commits_offset() in patch-bitmap.c,
- a new test helper command `test-tool bitmap list-commits-offset`,
- and a `load corrupt bitmap` test case in t5310.
-
- The `load corrupt bitmap` test case intentionally corrupt the
- "xor_offset" field of the first entry. And the newly added helper
- can help to find position of "xor_offset" in bitmap file.
+ t5310 lacks a test to ensure git works correctly when commit bitmap
+ data is corrupted. So this patch add test helper in pack-bitmap.c to
+ list each commit bitmap position in bitmap file and `load corrupt bitmap`
+ test case in t/t5310 to corrupt a commit bitmap before loading it.
