builtin/for-each-repo: remove unnecessary argv copy to plug leak
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
cmd_for_each_repo() copies argv into args (a strvec), which is later
passed into run_command_on_repo(), which in turn copies that strvec onto
the end of child.args. The initial copy is unnecessary (we never modify
args). We therefore choose to just pass argv directly into
run_command_on_repo(), which lets us avoid the copy and fixes the leak.

LSAN output from t0068:

Direct leak of 192 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:

See also discussion about the original implementation below - this code
appears to have evolved from a callback explaining the double-strvec-copy
pattern, but there's no strong reason to keep that now:
