So here we make this static file-level etc...

...but all of the "tmp_objdir" usage is in one function, can't the
variable be declared here instead?
We need to hand the "remerge_objdir_location" off to the "rev_info"
struct, but that seems separate from its lifetime.
Re my [1] & [2] I like Neeraj's "atexit cleanup" approach better,
perhaps that makes your cleanup in log-tree.c redundant or easier?
Per [2] it looks like you need to "hand off" the
"remerge_objdir_location", so having the struct live in tmp-objdir.h as
I suggested in [2] might make that work...
