Your reading is correct.  Many, many applications -- including quite a
few Heroku components -- rely on manipulating the file system within
the running container with the understanding that it will go away
after the container is destroyed.  You can have a shot at knowing when
this is happening by treating SIGTERM in a program.  The grace period
is some handful of seconds.

I'd suggest (although it may seem bizarre) stuffing the key into a
config var if you do this, and then materializing it on the file
system to aid 'git push'.
