[PATCH v2 0/2] pack-bitmap: remove checks before bitmap_free

["Lidong Yan via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

In pack-bitmap.c:find_boundary_objects, remove cascade success check and
always free roots_bitmap afterward to make static analysis tool works
better.

          In pack-bitmap.c:find_boundary_objects, we build a roots_bitmap and
     -    cascade it to cb.base. However, I’m wondering why we only free
     -    roots_bitmap when the cascade succeeds. It seems we could safely remove
     -    this check and always free roots_bitmap afterward, which might provide
     -    some performance benefits.
     +    cascade it to cb.base. Only when cascade failed, roots_bitmap is
     +    freed otherwise it leaks. Since cascade_pseudo_merges_1() only use
     +    roots_bitmap as a mutable reference not takes roots_bitmap's ownership
     +    we'd better remove `if(cascade_pseudo_merges_1)` and frees roots_bitmap
     +    anyway.
