How does this compare with the one I posted about 1 hour 30
minuts ago:

	tmp=${TMPDIR-/tmp}
	tmp=$tmp/gitdiff-do.$RANDOM.$RANDOM.$RANDOM.$$
	(umask 077 && mkdir $tmp) || {
		echo "Could not create temporary directory! Exiting." 1>&2 
		exit 1
	}
	t=$tmp/tmp
	trap 'rm -fr $tmp; trap 0; exit 0' 0 1 2 3 15

derived from the reference that Dave Jones provided?
