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");
