Re: [PATCH v2] mergetool: use more conservative temporary filenames

From: Junio C Hamano <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 23:02:42

David Aguilar [off-list ref] writes:
Avoid filenames with multiple dots so that overly-picky tools do
not misinterpret their extension.

Previously, foo/bar.ext in the worktree would result in e.g.

	./foo/bar.ext.BASE.1234.ext

This can be improved by having only a single .ext and using
underscore instead of dot so that the extension cannot be
misinterpreted.  The resulting path becomes:

	./foo/bar_BASE_1234.ext

Changes since v1

The commit message changed to say "./foo" instead of "foo".

The patch now uses Junio's suggestion to minimize variables,
and preserves the original leading ./ just in case there are
tools that rely on having ./ in front of relative paths.
;-)

Perhaps together with the "allow temporary directory" patch, we
would want to have a few tests for these changes?
