[PATCH 0/1] git-p4: close temporary file before removing

[Philip McGraw via GitGitGadget]

python os.remove() throws exceptions on Windows platform when attempting to
remove file while still open.

Add local allocateTempFileName() to clarify that only the name is being
allocated by NamedTemporaryFile(); file and handle are closed (but not
deleted) when leave scope. Subsequent file deletion will succeed since file
was closed.

Also print error details after resulting IOError to make debugging cause of
exception less mysterious when it has nothing to do with "git version recent
enough."

I would also mention that this avoids double-open issue on Windows.
