This change removes all obvious useless if-before-free tests.
E.g., it replaces code like this:
if (some_expression)
free (some_expression);
with the now-equivalent:
free (some_expression);
It is equivalent not just because POSIX has required free(NULL)
to work for a long time, but simply because it has worked for
so long that no reasonable porting target fails the test.
Here's some evidence from nearly 1.5 years ago:
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2006-October/031544.html
FYI, the change below was prepared by running the following:
git ls-files -z | xargs -0 \
perl -0x3b -pi -e \
's/\bif\s*\(\s*(\S+?)(?:\s*!=\s*NULL)?\s*\)\s+(free\s*\(\s*\1\s*\))/$2/s'
Note however, that it doesn't handle brace-enclosed blocks like
"if (x) { free (x); }". But that's ok, since there were none like
that in git sources.
Beware: if you do use the above snippet, note that it can
produce syntactically invalid C code. That happens when the
affected "if"-statement has a matching "else".
E.g., it would transform this
if (x)
free (x);
else
foo ();
into this:
free (x);
else
foo ();
There were none of those here, either.
If you're interested in automating detection of the useless
tests, you might like the useless-if-before-free script in gnulib:
[it *does* detect brace-enclosed free statements, and has a --name=S
option to make it detect free-like functions with different names]

Addendum:
Remove one more (in imap-send.c), spotted by Jean-Luc Herren <jlh@gmx.ch>.

This changes the interporate() to replace entries with NULL values
by the empty string, and uses it to interpolate missing fields in
custom format output used in git-log and friends. It is most useful
to avoid <unknown> output from %b format for a commit log message
that lack any body text.

Traditionally we had 16kB limit when formatting log messages for
output, because it was easier to arrange for the caller to have
a reasonably big buffer and pass it down without ever worrying
about reallocating.
This changes the calling convention of pretty_print_commit() to
lift this limit. Instead of the buffer and remaining length, it
now takes a pointer to the pointer that points at the allocated
buffer, and another pointer to the location that stores the
allocated length, and reallocates the buffer as necessary.
To support the user format, the error return of interpolate()
needed to be changed. It used to return a bool telling "Ok the
result fits", or "Sorry, I had to truncate it". Now it returns
0 on success, and returns the size of the buffer it wants in
order to fit the whole result.

We shouldn't attempt to assign constant strings into char*, as the
string is not writable at runtime. Likewise we should always be
treating unsigned values as unsigned values, not as signed values.
Most of these are very straightforward. The only exception is the
(unnecessary) xstrdup/free in builtin-branch.c for the detached
head case. Since this is a user-level interactive type program
and that particular code path is executed no more than once, I feel
that the extra xstrdup call is well worth the easy elimination of
this warning.

This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include
system header files.
(1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and
xdelta code are exempt from the following rules;
(2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of
our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h,
builtin.h, pkt-line.h);
(3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h"
need not be included in individual C source files.
(4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem
specific header files (e.g. expat.h).

Clarified that parse_extra_args()s results in interpolation
table entries. Removed a few trailing whitespace occurrences.
