temp curr resolution: setting mktemp to use another dir

[mgree]

Why not allow this to work like -i, where you can specify multiple ignores on the command-line?

[ezrizhu]

we can, they are just comma separated, which is easier to impl than allowing for -i to be called multiple times imo

[mgree]

Easier to implement doesn't carry much weight for me. It makes sense to use overlay's colon-separated stuff for lowerdirs, but the find and grep interfaces seem biased in favor of multiple invocations. Multiple flags also makes it easier to generate invocations---you don't have to group all of your ignores in one place.

What is the actual command that causes this failure?

temp curr resolution: setting mktemp to use another dir

Is this a 'resolution' or a workaround? Seems like a workaround.

If the failure is just when -E mentions a dir under /tmp, we should warn/error about this.
