Patch Set 1: No score

> I'm confused.

Sorry for confusion, Shawn. Actually I didn't expect for a quick feedback ;-)

> What is the value of this change?

I've found this when investigating a bug #294619 and decided it makes sense to replace couple of new File()s with a  method in a factory. Bug #294619 was closed as invalid because it's an Eclipse's bug (or feature) and I don't see how it can be fixed properly in EGit/JGit. I agree that 'Bug: 294619' in the comment is useless, it's a leftover from the original comment in my local repository.

The bottom line: it's just a small refactoring, may be with a little or no value at.
