>+# Its role is to ensure atomicity when saving downloaded files
>+# back to BR2_DL_DIR, and not clutter BR2_DL_DIR with partial,
>+# failed downloads.

>+# Call it with:
>+#   $1: name of the helper (eg. cvs, git, cp...)
>+#   $2: full path to the file in which to save the download
>+#   $*: additional arguments to the helper in $1
>+# Environment:
>+#   BUILD_DIR: the path to Buildroot's build dir
>+
>+# To avoid cluttering BR2_DL_DIR, we download to a trashable
>+# location, namely in $(BUILD_DIR).
>+# Then, we move the downloaded file to a temporary file in the
>+# same directory as the final output file.
>+# This allows us to finally atomically rename it to its final
>+# name.
>+# If anything goes wrong, we just remove all the temporaries
>+# created so far.

>+# We want to catch any unexpected failure, and exit immediately.

>+# Since the destination filesystem can be anything, it might not support
