malloc: *** error for object 0x1: pointer being freed was not allocated on MacOS with git 2.47.0

[Attila Kerekes <ak@enrg8.com>]

Dear Maintainers!

See my bug report below:

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)

run the command:
  git maintenance start

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)

git maintenance is started

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)

git(26100,0x1ffd63840) malloc: *** error for object 0x1: pointer being freed was not allocated

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?

git maintenance jobs did not get set up, instead i got a malloc error

Anything else you want to add:

MacOS 15.1 (24B83) on M3 mac.

git installed with brew

the Apple provided git 2.39.5 works fine when I run git maintenance start.

Please review the rest of the bug report below.
