[v2,17/20] remote: fix leaking peer ref when expanding refmap

Commit Message

Patrick Steinhardt Aug. 22, 2024, 9:18 a.m. UTC

When expanding remote refs via the refspec in `get_expanded_map()`, we
first copy the remote ref and then override its peer ref with the
expanded name. This may cause a memory leak though in case the peer ref
is already set, as this field is being copied by `copy_ref()`, as well.

Fix the leak by freeing the peer ref before we re-assign the field.
