The tmpname is uninitialized and it should a bug

Please ignore the former patches about this with wrong format.
I am sorry to cause a jam in your inbox. ^_^

In the end, I wanna thank Michael Haggerty who give me help.

If you look at "git log" output, you would notice that people write
something like

	Helped-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu>

before your S-o-b: line for a case like this.

We can see that you are replacing tmpname with pack_tmp_name in
warning without you writing on the subject line.  The commit log is
where you explain *why* that change is the right thing to do.  And
that is totally lacking in this message.
