Hi,

Vigilant Sentry (our C/C++ static analysis tool) found that
commit 6d4bb383, added a file leak to builtin/fetch.c.

static int store_updated_refs(...
{  
    FILE *fp;
    ...
    fp = fopen(filename, "a");
    if (!fp)
        return error(_("cannot open %s: %s\n"), filename, strerror(errno));
    ....

    if (check_everything_connected(iterate_ref_map, 0, &rm))
        return error(_("%s did not send all necessary objects\n"), url);

Please close the file handle before returning from the function.

Thanks,
Chris

Close FETCH_HEAD and release the string url even if we have to leave the
function store_updated_refs() early.

How about reusing the function's cleanup calls, like this?

Yes, that's better.

Micro-nit: If you start the label with a space ("+ abort:") then the
code continues to play nice with git grep -W.
