Do you honestly think the situation of importing */tmp itself* is
something to worry about? Remember that importing directories
*in* /tmp won't cause a problem if a tmpfile is stored in /tmp;
they'd have to import /tmp itself.

All commands that can operate outside a wc store tmp files in the
current directory: mkdir, cp, rm, etc. With import it is most
noticeable because the file itself gets imported, but i say it is
a problem even outside import. Out of all the programs i use,
only one clutters my home directory with its tmp files: svn. We
have specialized tmp directories for a reason.
