builtin/submodule--helper: release unused strbuf to avoid leak
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
relative_url() populates sb. In the normal return path, its buffer is
detached using strbuf_detach(). However the early return path does
nothing with sb, which means that sb's memory is leaked - therefore
we add a release to avoid this leak.

The reset is also only necessary for the normal return path, hence we
move it down to after the early-return to avoid unnecessary work.

LSAN output from t0060:

Direct leak of 121 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
