Here is one of the two. There is only one NEEDSWORK, not "at both".
Leave a NEEDSWORK comment at remote.c:handle_config() that
has a defect similar to what is fixed by this patch, so ...
should be sufficient.
Another is that
int cmd_fetch(int argc,
const char **argv,
const char *prefix,
struct repository *repo UNUSED)
{
struct fetch_config config = {
.display_format = DISPLAY_FORMAT_FULL,
.follow_remote_head_raw = NULL,
.follow_remote_head_seen = 0,
.prune = -1,
.prune_tags = -1,
.show_forced_updates = 1,
.recurse_submodules = RECURSE_SUBMODULES_DEFAULT,
.parallel = 1,
.submodule_fetch_jobs = -1,
};
will hold onto a copy of config.follow_remote_head_seen that was
read from the configuration and never frees it, so when cmd_fetch()
leaves, it technically leaks a string.
Other than these two points, this round looks very good.
Thanks.
