[bug-patch] patch fails to create directories when calculating TMP*NAME

[Ozan Çağlayan]

Hi,

the following commit:

commit fdafb60cc0d920fe3f31965013235fbd7fc9d592
Author: Andreas Gruenbacher <address@hidden>

    Stop using mktemp() for TMPOUTNAME
    
    * src/patch.c (main): Compute TMPOUTNAME with make_tempfile().
    (make_temp): Remove obsolete function.

breaks patch in a way that it no longer creates sub directories when creating 
temporary files, e.g.:

--- /dev/null
+++ newdirectory/newfile
@@ -0,0 +1,2 @@
+one
+two

applying the above patch with:

patch -p0 < above.diff

fails if newdirectory doesn't exist:

**** Can't create temporary file newdirectory/newfile.oMoM0mE: No such file or 
directory

I'm attaching a patch which adds a unit-test for this case.

Thanks,
