On Linux systems at least, temporary files are usually created in /tmp,

But that is not what git does when staging a commit.
Hmm, git does use special fixed file names like .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG
and .git/ADD_EDIT.patch for particular editing purposes ... given that
COMMIT_EDITMSG retains its previous contents, perhaps it doesn’t quite
count as a “temporary file” ...
I was thinking more about what happens in general when some program
invokes $EDITOR or $VISUAL to let the user create/edit some text input. It
is usual to put the file in $TMPDIR.
