Colin Walters c2123bfc71 pull: Ensure temporary data that appears corrupted is deleted
If a MITM attacker (or just network corruption) causes a temporary
downloaded object in tmp/ to be corrupted, we'll end up
continually trying to commit it, and fail.

Fix this unlinking the temp file immediately after opening it.  This
will ensure that if we exit due to an error (or crash), the kernel
will clean up the space for us.

README.md

OSTree is a tool for managing bootable, immutable, versioned filesystem trees. While it takes over some of the roles of tradtional "package managers" like dpkg and rpm, it is not a package system; nor is it a tool for managing full disk images. Instead, it sits between those levels, offering a blend of the advantages (and disadvantages) of both.
