I was expecting to see sequencer.c here, but it appears it does not call 
clear_unpack_trees_porcelain() to free the memory allocated with 
setup_unpack_trees_porcelain(). If you're interested in fixing memory 
leaks from unpack trees it might be worth checking that all the calls to 
setup_unpack_trees_porcelain() have a matching call to 
clear_unpack_trees_porcelain().

Best Wishes
