Package: mercurial Version: 0.9.5-3 Severity: wishlist Whenever you hg commit, mercurial will create a file like /tmp/hg-editor-mX1MbE.txt and invoke $EDITOR on it. Because the file already has contents, many editors will create a backup file /tmp/hg-editor-mX1MbE.txt~ or similar. The actual temp file hg wants to use (/tmp/hg-editor-mX1MbE.txt) is later removed, but the backup files stay around.
An easy solution to this would be to use a temporary directory and have the edited file inside it, e.g. use /tmp/hg-editor-mX1MbE/commitmsg.txt and afterwards rm -rf the temporary directory. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-rc7-wl-02674-g44c8520-dirty (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages mercurial depends on: ii libc6 2.7-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii python 2.4.4-6 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-support 0.7.7 automated rebuilding support for P Versions of packages mercurial recommends: ii rcs 5.7-23 The GNU Revision Control System -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
