util: use ~ as a suffix for a temp file in the same directory as a source file Tools like Buck have patterns to ignore the creation of files (in the working copy) that match certain patterns: https://github.com/facebook/buck/blob/39278a4f0701c5239eae148968dc1ed4cc8661f7/src/com/facebook/buck/cli/Main.java#L259-L299 When Buck sees a new source file (as reported by Watchman), it has to invalidate a number of caches associated with the directory that contains the file. Using a standard suffix, such as `~`, would make it easier for Buck and others to filter out these types of file creation events. The other uses of `tempfile.mkstemp()` in Hg do not appear to be problematic because they (generally speaking) do not specify the `dir` parameter, so the new file is created in the system-appropriate temp directory, which is outside the working copy. Test Plan: `make tests` Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D468

Mercurial's default format for showing changes between two versions of
a file is compatible with the unified format of GNU diff, which can be
used by GNU patch and many other standard tools.
While this standard format is often enough, it does not encode the
following information:
- executable status and other permission bits
- copy or rename information
- changes in binary files
- creation or deletion of empty files
Mercurial also supports the extended diff format from the git VCS
which addresses these limitations. The git diff format is not produced
by default because a few widespread tools still do not understand this
format.
This means that when generating diffs from a Mercurial repository
(e.g. with :hg:`export`), you should be careful about things like file
copies and renames or other things mentioned above, because when
applying a standard diff to a different repository, this extra
information is lost. Mercurial's internal operations (like push and
pull) are not affected by this, because they use an internal binary
format for communicating changes.
To make Mercurial produce the git extended diff format, use the --git
option available for many commands, or set 'git = True' in the [diff]
section of your configuration file. You do not need to set this option
when importing diffs in this format or using them in the mq extension.
