Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] diff: generate prettier filenames when using GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF

From: David Aguilar <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 27 May 2009 23:11:17 -0700

Naturally, prep_temp_blob() did not care about filenames.
As a result, scripts that use GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF ended up
with filenames such as ".diff_XXXXXX".

This specializes the GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF code to generate
user-friendly filenames when creating temporary files.

Diffing "name.ext" now generates "XXXXXX_name.ext".

This includes Hannes' suggestion to avoid basename()
for Windows portability.
