yes. since /tmp is definitely not required to survive a reboot, and we're
OK on memory usage (aside from CVS clients like the one I posted about =)
it seems safe. Looks like CVS makes an entire copy of what it wants to
send to a client to a dir in /tmp before sending it out; makes a bare
minimum of sense if you have reads locking writes to the repository, so
it's not locked while someone does a big long read-only update.
