The earlier rewrite f28e3ab2 (read_branches_file: simplify string handling)
of read_branches_file() lost an fclose() call. Put it back.
As on Windows files that are open cannot be removed, the leak manifests in
a failure of 'git remote rename origin origin' when the remote's URL is
specified in .git/branches/origin, because by the time that the command
attempts to remove this file, it is still open.
