When write_loose_object() finds that it is unable to create a temporary file, it complains, for instance: unable to create temporary sha1 filename : Too many open files That extra space was supposed to be the name of the file, and will be an empty string if the git_mkstemps_mode() fails. The name of the temporary file is unimportant; delete it.
