[FYI/PATCH] vcs-svn: give control over temporary file names

[Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@xxxxxxxxx>]

Allow users of the line_buffer library to specify what directory and
filename to use for temporary files.  For example:

	struct line_buffer tmp = LINE_BUFFER_INIT;
	if (buffer_tmpfile_init(&tmp, ".git", "svnfe_blob.XXXXXX"))
		die_errno("opening temporary file");
	...
	if (buffer_deinit(&tmp))
		die_errno("removing temporary file");

On Windows, something like this is needed if users without write
permission to the root directory are to be able to use temporary
files.

Unlike the implementation using tmpfile, this would not take
care of automatically removing the temporary file on exit.  The
user is responsible for now for installing appropriate signal and
atexit handlers to take care of that.

I have an odd feeling this will be necessary at some point but I'm not
sure if it's a good idea or not.  Although tmpfile(3) is a limited
interface, it's pretty much exactly what we want.

See [1] for tmpfile on Windows.

This is just to get the idea out there.  I don't think this patch's
moment has come (though I'd be interested in your thoughts either
way).
