We're not too keen on adding stupid options ;-)

Is the deleted file in the recycle bin? If it is not then maybe the
behaviour can be changed to move the temp file there, but in general temp
files should always be deleted. You get the same behaviour if you open an
attachment in your email client and edit it. You're editing a temp file and
when you go to look for it later it's not there.

This option is intended for making quick changes. If you are going to do 2
hours editing on a file then you really don't want to be working on a temp
file. Make a proper checkout.
