Temporary zipfiles are created as part of the checkin and checkout processes. They use names of the form "tmp_NNNNN.zip". They should be deleted once the corresponding checkin or checkout is completed. Some work on this issue has already been done, but garbage is still being left, so further attention is clearly needed. Also, the temp files are being created in the "current directory" , which for Linux is the current directory at the time that the Eclipse session was launched. Instead of littering an arbitrary directory, the tmp files should ideally be created in a tmp directory under the .ScmAdmin directory within each managed project (or perhaps in some system- level tmp directory. That would make it easier to delete garbage files if they are not properly cleaned up for whatever reason.
