ls-files: free max_prefix when done
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
common_prefix() returns a new string, which we store in max_prefix -
this string needs to be freed to avoid a leak. This leak is happening
in cmd_ls_files, hence is of no real consequence - an UNLEAK would be
just as good, but we might as well free the string properly.

Leak found while running t0002, see output below:

Direct leak of 8 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
