Hi Matthias,

Marcus Griep did a lot of work for more efficiently handling of
tempfiles in Git.pm a few months ago, so maybe he has more insight into
how things work...

git-svn used to use IO::File->new_tmpfile() which was much simpler and
probably less prone to portability problems, but cycled through inodes
too quickly for Marcus (and probably some other people).


Speaking only for myself and not other contributors:

  I have no interest in dealing with crazy systems like Windows.  Ever.

  However, I'll gladly accept patches to make things work if they don't
  break existing use cases.

  Keep in mind that I'm an extremist.  I dislike Windows (and some other
  crazy software systems) to the point that I refuse to deal with them
  even in paid contracts and employment.
