register_tempfile(): new function to handle an existing temporary file
Allow an existing file to be registered with the tempfile-handling infrastructure; in particular, arrange for it to be deleted on program exit. This can be used if the temporary file has to be created in a more complicated way than just open(). For example: * If the file itself needs to be created via the lockfile API * If it is not a regular file (e.g., a socket) Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
