This subject should be created by the actual patch, because, they way
you submitted it, it will be used for pushing.

Or you create your patch with "git format-patch" and attach it, then
the actual subject of the e-mail doesn't matter. Or "git send-email"
will format the subject for you, assuming you put the correct text into
your commit message:

That said, the commit message should be introduced with a one-liner
with a module prefix, such as:

avformat/mov: memory optimization with QuickTime/MP4

(I think it should be "for", not "with", but that's up to you in the
first step.)

Then an empty line, then the remaining text. No need to mention "patch"
anywhere in the commit message, because it's obvious that a commit
corresponds to a patch.

If you write this text here, it will be part of the pushed commit
message. If you wish to add text to a patch sent with "git send-email",
please add your additional text below the three-dash separator:

(Add your text in here.)

You should also kindly wrap your commit message at ~80 characters, or
perhaps 72.

This can never happen? Or can it, with an illegally formatted file, but
shouldn't? In the latter case, you would need to error out with
"invalid data". (Just wondering, not critisizing.)

av_freep() NULLs for you.

Ditto.

Nit: I think these descriptions are imperatives, so drop the 's' from
"Discards".
