[rdiff-backup-users] Running out of /tmp space when regressing large files

[Jim C. Nasby]

While attempting to regress a large virtual PC file, rdiff-backup was
returning an out-of-space error on the server. Turns out /tmp was
filling up, even though there were no files to be found. Symlinking
$TEMP (which is /tmp/decibel) to /var/tmp/decibel has moved the issue to
/var (which in this case will have enough room... for now).

What is it that's being created in $TEMP, and why doesn't it show up
under ls? And how can I disable this, since at some point in the future
I'll have files too large for this to work on...
