[PATCH] Move git send-email cover letter temporary file to $GIT_DIR

From: Gustaf Hendeby <hendeby@isy.liu.se>

Message-ID: <1198284202-20666-1-git-send-email-hendeby@isy.liu.se>
In-Reply-To: <7vhcic9e17.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org>

git send-email with the --compose option now puts its temporary file in $GIT_DIR instead of the current working directory. The file should be removed on exit, still it is nice not to mess around in the working directory if not necessary.
