Please do.

Here's my latest patch, in case you find it useful as a starting point.
I do not have more time or inclination to work on this at the moment.
The problem with this patch is that the caller (git-svn in this case)
assumes that a File::Temp object will be returned, and depends on the
OO interface (e.g. by calling $tmp_fh->filename).

Unfortunately, I do not think the problem is limited to filename(). I
blessed $$temp_fd into a stub package that provided a fake filename()
method, but t9100-git-svn-basic.sh failed a little further on, and I
did not investigate further. Anyway, I don't think emulating the
File::Temp OO interface is a good solution at all.

(Tom: I'm sorry I ran out of energy before I could put together a
complete fix for you.)

Perl 5.8.0 ships with File::Temp 0.13, which does not have the new()
interface introduced in 0.14, as pointed out by Tom G. Christensen.
