worktree: fix leak in dwim_branch()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Make sure that we release the temporary strbuf during dwim_branch() for
all codepaths (and not just for the early return).

This leak appears to have been introduced in:
  f60a7b7 (worktree: teach "add" to check out existing branches, 2018-04-24)

Note that UNLEAK(branchname) is still needed: the returned result is
used in add(), and is stored in a pointer which is used to point at one
of:
  - a string literal ("HEAD")
  - member of argv (whatever the user specified in their invocation)
  - or our newly allocated string returned from dwim_branch()
Fixing the branchname leak isn't impossible, but does not seem
worthwhile given that add() is called directly from cmd_main(), and
cmd_main() returns immediately thereafter - UNLEAK is good enough.

This leak was found when running t0001 with LSAN, see also LSAN output
below:
