When trying to uncompress deltas in a packfile's delta chain, we try to add object bases to the packfile cache, subsequently decrementing its reference count if it has been added successfully. This may lead to a mismatched reference count in the case where we exit the loop early due to an encountered error. Fix the issue by decrementing the reference count in error cleanup.

Just noticed this possible memory leak/reference count error as I took a quick look at #4023. It might cause the issue in case where we fail to unpack packfiles over NFS, as we would have a mismatched reference count then, triggering the assert. But I think it is rather unlikely. |
