I hoped "fortunately different and there is no leak", but it seems what you said below is a bit different X-<. > But in the case of `write_rev_file()`, it only *sometimes* generates a > new name from scratch.

But I think the topic to introduce that variable is being rerolled and has no interaction with the codepath we are discussing here, so we are still in good shape wrt this series ;-) Thanks.
