Description

Supplying an alternate tempdir causes the backup to fail on our particular file-system layout (/tmp is tiny) :

$ gitea dump --tempdir=/path/to/my/temp
...
2017... Failed to save gitea-dump-149....zip: write /tmp/cae/gitea-dump-149....zip/gitea-repo.zip: no space left on device

Perhaps this depends on interpretation, but, as someone who just wants to quickly get a Git repository manager up with the least number of stumbles, I read tempdir to mean the path that will be used in every case that calls for a temporary directory during the backup process, and so I expect that it will use my supplied temp dir path even to construct the zip.

Thanks!
