I would like to use vc-ediff when doing this, but unfortunately, due to how IT configures our file permissions, I do not have write permission in these users directories. This leads to a failure with opening 'file'.~branch~. I have looked through both the VC+.el and ediff.el for clues but I get hopelessly lost. So if there is a way to specify creating these temp files under say /tmp or somewhere I have write access, that would be very helpful. Thanks, Patrick
