 ### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
 
 Just starting but have high hopes :-)

+git-annex does not contain any calls to the "mktemp" command.
+
+So, it must be your external special remote that uses that command.
+It's up to the authors of external special remotes to make them run
+portably on whatever OS's they want to support. Probably if you mention
+this to the author of whatever external special remote you're using (you
+neglected to say what one it is in your bug report!), they will easily be
+able to fix it.
+
+git-annex is not going to get in the business of bundling a bunch of stuff
+that it does not depend on, sorry.
