Hmm, git does use special fixed file names like .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG 
and .git/ADD_EDIT.patch for particular editing purposes ... given that 
COMMIT_EDITMSG retains its previous contents, perhaps it doesn’t quite 
count as a “temporary file” ...

I was thinking more about what happens in general when some program 
invokes $EDITOR or $VISUAL to let the user create/edit some text input. It 
is usual to put the file in $TMPDIR.
