The transaction gets rolled back by its destructor. This is critical
so it happens whenever an exception occurs that unwinds the stack.
Unfortunately, what's happening with clone is we're trying to delete
the directory during exception propagation. And a reference to the
transaction is held in the exception backtrace stack frames so it
still exists until the exception is completely resolved.
So there's no way to do the directory delete inside the exception
handling cleanly.
But we can handle it similarly to the transaction itself: use an
object with a destructor.
