In sequencer.c:update_squash_messages, `repo_logmsg_reencode` returns
either an allocated reencode string or commit buffer if no encode is
needed. To free `repo_logmsg_reencode` result, `repo_unuse_commit_buffer`
should be used. However, when encountering the error("unknown command..."),
the absence of `repo_unuse_commit_buffer` results in a memory leak. I
think we should add a `repo_unuse_commit_buffer` before return.

sequencer: fix memory leak if update_squash_messages() failed
In sequencer.c:update_squash_messages, repo_logmsg_reencode returns
either an allocated reencode string or commit buffer if no encode is
needed. To free repo_logmsg_reencode result, repo_unuse_commit_buffer
should be used. However, when encountering the error("unknown
command..."), the absence of repo_unuse_commit_buffer results in a
memory leak. I think we should add a repo_unuse_commit_buffer before
return.
