builtin/mv: don't use memory after free
If 'src' already ends with a slash, then add_slash() will just return it, meaning that 'free(src_with_slash)' is actually 'free(src)'. Since we use 'src' later, this will result in use-after-free. In fact, this cannot happen because 'src' comes from internal_copy_pathspec() without the KEEP_TRAILING_SLASH flag, so any trailing '/' will have been stripped; but static analysis tools are not clever enough to realise this and so warn that 'src' could be used after having been free'd. Fix this by checking that 'src_w_slash' is indeed newly allocated memory. Signed-off-by: John Keeping <john@keeping.me.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
