[PATCH] pack-objects: free preferred base memory after usage

From: Nicolas Pitre <hidden>

Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

When adding objects for preferred delta base, the content from tree 
objects leading to given paths is kept in a cache. This has the 
potential to grow significantly, especially with large directories as 
the whole tree object content is loaded in memory, even if in practice 
the number of those objects is limited to the 256 cache entries plus the 
$window root tree objects.  Still, that can't hurt freeing that up after 
object enumeration is done, and before more memory is needed for delta 
search.
