Subject: [PATCH 5/8] gitk: put temporary directory inside .git
Date: Mon,  4 Apr 2011 22:14:16 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1301969659-19703-6-git-send-email-martin.von.zweigbergk@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1301969659-19703-1-git-send-email-martin.von.zweigbergk@gmail.com>

When running "External diff" from gitk, the "from" and "to" files will
first be copied into a directory that is currently
".git/../.gitk-tmp.$pid". When gitk is closed, the directory is
deleted. When the work tree is not at ".git/.." (which is supported
since the previous commit), that directory may not even be git-related
and it does not seem unlikely that permissions may not allow the
temporary directory to be created there. Move the directory inside
.git instead.

This patch introduces a regression in the case that the .git directory
is readonly, but .git/.. is writeable.
