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 has the ability to add new features through the use of
extensions. Extensions may add new commands, add options to
existing commands, change the default behavior of commands, or
implement hooks.
To enable the "foo" extension, either shipped with Mercurial or in the
Python search path, create an entry for it in your configuration file,
like this::
[extensions]
foo =
You may also specify the full path to an extension::
[extensions]
myfeature = ~/.hgext/myfeature.py
See :hg:`help config` for more information on configuration files.
Extensions are not loaded by default for a variety of reasons:
they can increase startup overhead; they may be meant for advanced
usage only; they may provide potentially dangerous abilities (such
as letting you destroy or modify history); they might not be ready
for prime time; or they may alter some usual behaviors of stock
Mercurial. It is thus up to the user to activate extensions as
needed.
To explicitly disable an extension enabled in a configuration file of
broader scope, prepend its path with !::
[extensions]
# disabling extension bar residing in /path/to/extension/bar.py
bar = !/path/to/extension/bar.py
# ditto, but no path was supplied for extension baz
baz = !
