That makes sense.

This is not introduced by your patch, but I notice that we do not seem
to do anything with the tempfiles when the program dies prematurely.
We've started collecting stale shallow_XXXXXX files in our server repos.

For the writable cases, should we be using the lockfile API to take
shallow.lock? It looks like we do take a lock on it, but only after the
fetch, and then we have to do a manual check for it having moved (by the
way, shouldn't we do that check under the lock? I think
setup_alternate_shallow has a race condition).

I guess the reason to take the lock at the last minute is that the whole
fetch is heavyweight. But if the fetches are going to conflict, perhaps
it is better to have lock contention at the beginning, rather than
failing only at the end. I don't know very much about the shallow
system; does each operation rewrite the shallow file, or is it often
left untouched (in which case two simultaneous fetches could coexist
most of the time).

At any rate, if we used the lockfile API, it handles tempfile cleanup
automatically. Otherwise, I think we need something like the patch
below (in the interest of simplicity, I just drop all of the explicit
unlinks and let them use the atexit handler to clean up; you could also
add a function to explicitly unlink the tempfile and clear the handler).
