Looking at the code I see this function only used to create a file for use
as stdin of a hook script.
Wouldn't it be better to start the hook with a pipe as stdin and write the
contents of 'value' directly to the pipe instead of creating a temp file?

Just my 2 cents.

PS: Issue #2791 contains two patches which add support for pipes, i guess
it wouldn't be hard to add the stdin pipe for hooks.
