The variable "refs" is allocated on the stack but is not initialized. It
is passed to read_packed_refs(), and its struct members may eventually be
passed to add_ref() and ALLOC_GROW(). Since the structure has not been
initialized, its members may contain random non-zero values. So let's
initialize it.
The call sequence looks something like this:
resolve_gitlink_packed_ref(...) {
struct cached_refs refs;
...
read_packed_refs(f, &refs);
...
}
read_packed_refs(FILE*, struct cached_refs *cached_refs) {
...
add_ref(name, sha1, flag, &cached_refs->packed, &last);
...
}
add_ref(..., struct ref_array *refs, struct ref_entry **) {
...
ALLOC_GROW(refs->refs, refs->nr + 1, refs->alloc);
}
