Yes, I think it could.

Thanks to Pierre Habouzit for the initial idea and David Barr for
advice on the execution.

Thoughts?  Bugs?  Improvements?

Jonathan Nieder (7):
  init: plug tiny memory leak
  lockfile: introduce alloc_lock_file() to avoid valgrind noise
  environment.c: remove unused variable
  setup: make sure git dir path is in a permanent buffer
  Introduce malloc/strdup/pathdup variants for permanent allocations
  environment: use alloc_permanent() for computed git_dir and co
  commit-tree: free commit message before exiting
