5 * This API allows you to create a temporary object directory, advertise it to
6 * sub-processes via GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY and GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES,
7 * and then either migrate its object into the main object directory, or remove
8 * it. The library handles unexpected signal/exit death by cleaning up the
9 * temporary directory.
10 *
11 * Example:
12 *
13 * struct tmp_objdir *t = tmp_objdir_create();
14 * if (!run_command_v_opt_cd_env(cmd, 0, NULL, tmp_objdir_env(t)) &&
15 * !tmp_objdir_migrate(t))
16 * printf("success!\n");
17 * else
18 * die("failed...tmp_objdir will clean up for us");
19 *
