So if the problem is "old perl", I don't think it is an issue. Are 
there modern perl installations in the wild that don't have 
File::Temp?

The thing is, I think I heard quite similar explanation why Test::More 
is safe to use when the patch to add t/t9700 was submit.  Then what 
happened?

ISTR the Test::More problem was reported by Linus, who is a Fedora user? 
I tried searching for any reasonable information on which of the core 
perl modules are installed by default on Fedora systems, but didn't come 
up with anything useful.

I really have no clue as to what is out there, and I suspect we must 
either play it totally safe, or push the limits and wait for people to 
complain about breakage.

I wonder why bother trying to import things when you do not need them to 
begin with!  I mean, it is _obvious_ that in this case, we want .git/ to 
be writable _anyway_, so why not stick with a fixed name in that?
