If you cloned PVLng by git, you should clear the temp. directory after each git pull.

To automate this, you can put the following code into .git/hooks/post-merge

#!/bin/sh
#
# MIT © Knut Kohl - https://gist.github.com/K-Ko
#
# Git hook to clear temp. directory after `git pull`
#
# .git/hooks/post-merge
#
# Don't forget to make executalbe by `chmod 755 post-merge`

echo
echo -n 'Empty temp. directory ... '

find tmp -type f ! -empty -delete

echo Done.

You can get it also from this Gist:

# wget -qO .git/hooks/post-merge https://gist.github.com/K-Ko/e7c01e0c7490ee4352fb

Make the script executable by

# chmod +x .git/hooks/post-merge

and you are done.

Next time, you pull changes from Github, the hook will remove all not empty files from temp. directory (this will ignore the .githold file)
