Then that's probably an atomic file update trick. The temp file is created,
written
to, and closed, then moved over the old file name. That this happens in the
same
working directory as the file being replaced is also intentional. Some
platforms
don't support mv's between partitions and '.' is fairly obviously going to be
on the
same partion as '.'.
How tight is your disk space? This algorithm should never require more empty
space
than the size of the largest file in your workspace plus maybe the size a CVS/*
file
(e.g. CVS/Entries) or two.
