[PATCH 05/22] sequencer: allow the sequencer to take custody of malloc()ed data

From: Johannes Schindelin <hidden>
Date: 2016-08-29 08:04:48
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

The sequencer is our attempt to lib-ify cherry-pick. Yet it behaves
like a one-shot command when it reads its configuration: memory is
allocated and released only when the command exits.

This is kind of okay for git-cherry-pick, which *is* a one-shot
command. All the work to make the sequencer its work horse was
done to allow using the functionality as a library function, though,
including proper clean-up after use.

This patch introduces an API to pass the responsibility of releasing
certain memory to the sequencer.
