The `opt_ff` field gets populated either via `OPT_PASSTHRU` via `config_get_ff()` or when `--rebase` is passed. So we sometimes end up overriding the value in `opt_ff` with another value, but we do not free the old value, causing a memory leak. Adapt the type of the variable to be `char *` and consistently assign allocated strings to it such that we can easily free it when it is being overridden.
