From c77756015e66e5fc601cfb6a368c37ef1f94285a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick Steinhardt Date: Fri, 7 Jun 2024 08:39:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mailmap: always store allocated strings in mailmap blob Same as with the preceding commit, the `git_mailmap_blob` may sometimes contain an allocated string and sometimes it may contain a string constant. This is risky and can easily lead to bugs in case the variable is getting re-assigned, where the code may then try to free the previous value to avoid memory leaks. Safeguard the code by always storing allocated strings in the variable.
