We use the sequence: fd = creat("temporary location"); write(fd, ...); close(fd); rename("temporary location", "final location"); in quite a lot of codepaths. I think they can be factored out, to take the "final location" (and perhaps a suggested temporary directory) as an parameter, and that code can check that "final location" is a symlink to somewhere else and create the temporary next to the target file. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
