[PATCH] fix memory leak in parse_object when check_sha1_signature fails

From: Carlos Rica <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:43:12
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

When check_sha1_signature fails, program is not terminated:
it prints an error message and returns NULL, so the
buffer returned by read_sha1_file should be freed before.
