Well, this thread ends in a half religous discussion about error
checking and if tools should be user friendly, but doesn't really
address the issue.
If you look at the code, this error occurs while removing the tmp/
directory unconditionally to create a fresh version of it. So this
code will in any case remove tmp/ whether there are files or not.
However, this code fails in the first step (removing the tmp/
unconditionally) if the directory doesn't exist (which is exactly the
expected result of this removing). So this shouldn't fail here.
Ignoring the 'error' of this directory not beeing here is the Right
Thing to do.
