When we parse a placeholder like "%(trailers:key=foo)", our atom parsing
function is passed just the argument string "key=foo". We duplicate this
into its own string, but never free it, causing a leak.
We do the duplication for two reasons:
1. There's a mismatch with the pretty.c trailer-formatting code that
we rely on. It expects to see a closing paren, like "key=foo)". So
we duplicate the argument string with that extra character to pass
along.
This is probably something we could fix in the long run, but it's
somewhat non-trivial if we want to avoid regressing error cases for
things like "git log --format='%(trailer:oops'". So let's accept
it as a necessity for now.
2. The argument parser expects to store the list of "key" entries
("foo" in this case) in a string-list. It also stores the length of
the string in the string-list "util" field. The original caller in
pretty.c uses this with a "nodup" string list to avoid making extra
copies, which creates a subtle dependency on the lifetime of the
original format string.
We do the same here, which creates that same dependency. So we
can't simply free it as soon as the parsing is done.
There are two possible solutions here. The first is to hold on to the
duplicated "argbuf" string in the used_atom struct, so that it lives as
long as the string_list which references it.
But I think a less-subtle solution, and what this patch does, is to
switch to a duplicating string_list. That makes it self-contained, and
lets us free argbuf immediately. It may involve a few extra allocations,
but this parsing is something that happens once per program, not once
per output ref.
This clears up one case that LSan finds in t6300, but there are more.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message
string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md
(a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org (see https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for details). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, https://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
