Commit Message

Use a release_revisions() with those "struct rev_list" users which
already "UNLEAK" the struct. It may seem odd to simultaneously attempt
to free() memory, but also to explicitly ignore whether we have memory
leaks in the same.

As explained in preceding commits this is being done to use the
built-in commands as a guinea pig for whether the release_revisions()
function works as expected, we'd like to test e.g. whether we segfault
as we change it. In subsequent commits we'll then remove these
UNLEAK() as the function is made to free the memory that caused us to
add them in the first place.

It would have been nice to reword this to avoid the confusion that 
prompted my comments on the previous version. Saying "As explained in 
the preceding commits" is confusing when those commits remove UNLEAK() 
and this commit leaves it in. I now understand why you are leaving 
UNLEAK() here thanks to your explanation on the previous series and I 
think it makes sense to do so but I don't think this message does a good 
job of explaining it.

The rest of the series looks good

Best Wishes

Phillip
