To avoid keeping the repo locked while the client is uploading the data,
hg writes everything to a temporary file, locks the repo and then
uses this temporary file to add the revisions.

Since we don't specify any directory, python obeys $TMPDIR/$TEMP/$TMP
and then falls back to /tmp, /var/tmp, ...

Maybe we should create this temporary file inside .hg...  Hmm...
