This switch to tmpnam() avoids creating the tmpfile in the first place and
streamlines the code. This handling of tmpfiles is slightly safer, but there
is an inherent race condition.

NOTE: (a) I cannot reproduce the problem and (b) this is only lightly tested,
if trivial.
However, this switch to tmpnam() avoids creating the tmpfile in the first place
and streamlines the code. This usage of tempfiles is open to a race condition
if someone could guess the name returned by tmpnam, but even this is safer than
what we did before, which was creating a file, closing the fh and then
clobbering it from git-read-tree.
And if someone can guess the name that tmpnam() returns their magic is strong
enough that they'll go for more interesting targets.
