Normally I'd ignore false positives, but this one tripped me up a bit.
I've also seen similar defensive style in the code base so I guess I'm
not too far off into the weeds with this one?

    Be a bit more defensive to prevent future accidents.
    
    llvm's scan-build things passing logmsg to got_repo_import() is a
    use-after-free, but that's not true because collect_import_msg() ->
    edit_logmsg() reallocates if there is no error.
    
    Explicitly setting it to NULL after free() makes it easier for
    scan-build and reviewers.
