parse_object_buffer: correct freeing the buffer
If we exit early in the function parse_object_buffer, we did not write to *eaten_p. Then the calling function parse_object, which looks like the following with respect to the eaten variable, cannot rely on a proper value set in eaten, hence the freeing of the buffer depends on random values in memory. struct object *parse_object(const unsigned char *sha1) { int eaten; ... obj = parse_object_buffer(sha1, type, size, buffer, &eaten); if (!eaten) free(buffer); } This change makes sure, the buffer freeing condition is deterministic.
