Cannot get svn diff in multiuser env (remote server)

See original GitHub issue

VSCode Version: 1.41.0
OS Version: Gentoo Client + Gentoo server
Extension Version: v2.3.0
System Language: EN
SVN Version: 1.12.2 (r1863366)

Issue

Trying to Open diff in FILE HISTORY on remote env and get error as follow: Error running command svn.itemlog.openDiff: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/tmp/vscode-svn/707ac331111e2ecd39d38c58804b3d0f'. This is likely caused by the extension that contributes svn.itemlog.openDiff.

The directory /tmp/vscode-svn is already created by a different user, therefore I’ve got the permission denied error.

Please add a user name or a user uid to the TMP path string (/tmp/vscode-svn) so it is unique for each user: https://github.com/JohnstonCode/svn-scm/blob/6c2748a9a8202a494cf05066eeec1a4257493af0/src/tempFiles.ts#L9

Steps to Reproduce

Open file in remote project (via ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh) or on multiuser system
Select Subversion extension in vscode
In FILE HISTORY choose commit, open context menu (right mouse click)
Choose Open diff

SVN Output
