Fine by me. EGit doesn’t have a public API anyway… well, nearly: packages
org.eclipse.egit.gitflow and org.eclipse.egit.gitflow.op are _not_ marked
x-internal or x-friends. And EGerrit is using at least one internal class from
EGit UI (FetchGerritChangeWizard, IIRC).

Can’t comment on JGit.

General question: do the API removal policy[1] or the Deprecation policy[2] apply?
If so, isn’t it too late already if some obsolete APIs were to be removed?
