Thread-topic: .git/branches folder

When jgit initializes an empty repository it creates an empty "branches" folder under the .git folder.
I haven't seen this folder in any other (C)Git repository.
Creating new branches leaves this folder empty.
A quick search through the jgit source code couldn't find any usage of this folder.

Should creation of this folder be removed from the Repository class?
