Re: [PATCH 3/3] builtin/help.c: fix memory leak

Hmph, does this memory belong to us, or are we peeking into the
cached data in the config cache layer?

So  alias_lookup(..) is a wrapper around git_config_string essentially
(some more git_config_functions are involved, but we eventually reach
git_config_string), where we have

    *dest = xstrdup(value);

so I think we need to free that memory, as the config cache layer doesn't
care any more.

Ah, OK, thanks.
