Hi Matthias, Marcus Griep did a lot of work for more efficiently handling of tempfiles in Git.pm a few months ago, so maybe he has more insight into how things work... git-svn used to use IO::File->new_tmpfile() which was much simpler and probably less prone to portability problems, but cycled through inodes too quickly for Marcus (and probably some other people). Speaking only for myself and not other contributors: I have no interest in dealing with crazy systems like Windows. Ever. However, I'll gladly accept patches to make things work if they don't break existing use cases. Keep in mind that I'm an extremist. I dislike Windows (and some other crazy software systems) to the point that I refuse to deal with them even in paid contracts and employment. -- Eric Wong
