[PATCH 05/10] config: plug user_config leak

flat view
STALE3319d

From: Jeff King <hidden>
Date: 2017-09-05 13:04:30
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

We generate filenames for the user_config ("~/.gitconfig")
and the xdg config ("$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config") and then
decide which to use by looking at the filesystem. But after
selecting one, the unused string is just leaked.

This is a tiny leak, but it creates noise in leak-checker
output.
