[RFC PATCH 0/1] invalid outdated temporary files

From: Han Xin <hanxin.hx@alibaba-inc.com>

When I use git on network storage, there may be some temporary files left in git repositories due to the program quitting unexpectedly, and they also prevent me from continuing to use the git command line until I manually delete them.

For some obviously expired temporary files, manual deletion is an extra expensive job, and one that I think can be avoided. So I wrote this patch. When creating a temporary file with the same name, if the mtime of the target file exceeds one day, unlink it first, and then try to recreate it.
