We seem to use File::Temp::tempdir already elsewhere, but they are in
archimport, cvsexportcommit and cvsserver, all of which are rather rarely
used ones.  I think this is Perl 5.6.1 addition.  Is everybody Ok with
this dependency?  Just double checking.

Perhaps wording this a bit more to the point?  This is triggered when 
'$f' can be both a filename or a revision, so...

	File '$f' exists but it could also be the range of commits
        to produce patches for.  Please disambiguate by...

	* Saying "./$f" if you mean a file; or
        * Giving -F option if you mean a range.

Earlier I suggested that "origin^0" is a way for the user to disambiguate
favouring a rev, but such a filename can exist, so we cannot blindly
suggest to say "$f^0" here.  I think adding -F (or --format-patch) option
to send-email to explicitly disable file/directory interpretation would be
a cleaner solution for this (and it would allow you to drive this from a
script without worrying about what garbage files you happen to have in the
working tree).
