[darcs-devel] [issue2025] darcs still uses current directory as temp folder

[Kari Hoijarvi]

New submission from Kari Hoijarvi <hoijarvi at seas.wustl.edu>:

To reproduce:

1) Use windows XP with non-admin rights. The point is, that non-admins
cannot create files, only folders, on C:\

2) do "darcs get http://repo" and you won't get it due to 1)

I assume, that darcs still uses current folder as temporary storage.
It's just wrong, plain wrong and will cause much more trouble. Windows
has user-specific temporary folders for security reasons.
