[PATCH 15/15] name-rev: plug a memory leak in name_rev() in the deref case

[SZEDER Gábor]

The name_rev() function's 'tip_name' parameter is a freshly
xstrdup()ed string, so when name_rev() invokes:

  tip_name = xstrfmt("%s^0", tip_name);

then the original 'tip_name' string is leaked.

Make sure that this string is free()d after it has been used as input
for that xstrfmt() call.

This only happens when name_rev() is invoked with a tag, i.e.
relatively infrequently in a usual repository, so any reduction in
memory usage is lost in the noise.
