Subject: [PATCH 3/3] branch: use ref_sorting_release()
Date: Wed, 20 Oct 2021 20:27:21 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <patch-3.3-c8e8bc46ac4-20211020T182516Z-avarab@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover-0.3-00000000000-20211020T182516Z-avarab@gmail.com>

Use a ref_sorting_release() in branch.c to free the memory from the
ref_sorting_options(). This plugs the final in-tree memory leak of
that API.

In the preceding commit the "sorting" variable was left in the
cmd_branch() scope, even though that wasn't needed anymore. Move it to
the "else if (list)" scope instead. We can also move the "struct
string_list" only used for that branch to be declared in that block

That "struct ref_sorting" does not need to be "static" (and isn't
re-used). The "ref_sorting_options()" will return a valid one, we
don't need to make it "static" to have it zero'd out. That it was
static was another artifact of the pre-image of the preceding commit.
