Having issues with configured git-bash

Here's a sample build: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/asottile/pre-commit/build/1.0.3/job/ofiuuffhmvqopm2h

The important bits from this are:

```
bash.exe: warning: could not find /tmp, please create!
```

I've found several things on the internet about this: https://github.com/bungeshea/GitPortable/issues/6 and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22492715/bash-exe-warning-could-not-find-tmp-please-create seem the most promising.

I've tried creating /tmp and setting TEMP and have had no success.

It's also pretty hard to "just try things" given the turnaround time :/

Thanks in advance!

   I really don't have an idea how to fix that. Maybe someone from community has.

   Is there a possibility I could get my hands on a VM that I can poke around with? I could probably figure it out reasonably quickly without a ~40 minute turnaround :(

   So I've poked a bit. Here's what I've figured out so far:

   If I have a window of "Git bash" ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" -login -i) running in the background I do not get the "bash.exe: warning: could not find /tmp, please create!" thing. (however closing the window causes the tests to go back to failing). Seems to be some side-effect of git bash running (which is odd, because I have the same version installed on my local machine!)

   Trying now to figure out something more-permanent that could be done during VM baking.

   Well, didn't figure out a permanent solution, I guess my crappy workaround is going to be `bash -c tox` instead of `tox`.
