    t4126: this test does not pass SANITIZE_LEAK; quit claiming it does
    
    My builds in several different topics keep running into this, and I'm
    sure it's a false positive -- I didn't change anything affecting this
    test. I've just been ignoring it and submitting anyway, and I suspect
    others are too.

So that's what is causing this. Thank you for chasing it down, it has been
on my TO-DO list e.g. due to
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/runs/4622790431?check_suite_focus=true#step:5:146

Given that it points to a leak in `cmd_format_patch()` (oh no, we're
_LEAKING_ some _MEMORY_ in a built-in, how did that ever happen, we must
free it before... *checks notes* ... wait, we're quitting immediately
after this function anyway? </sarcasm>) I wonder whether the disruption
caused by `linux-leaks` should really be considered worth the benefit.

Anyway. Thank you for the patch!

Ciao,
