It can happens when processes are currently reading the file or with big file or on NFS mounts. We add an experimental option to use the atomictemp option of vfs.__call__ in order to avoid the problem. The localrepository.wwrite seems to assume the files are created without the `x` flag; with atomictempfile, the new file might inherit the `x` flag from the destination. We force remove it afterward. This code could be refactored and the flag processing could be moved inside vfs. This patch should be tested with `--extra-config-opt experimental.update.atomic-file=True` as we disabled the option by default.
