[jgit-dev] JGit without local filesystem

[Shawn Pearce <spearce@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm starting to do the refactoring required to support JGit running on
different storage technologies beyond just the local filesystem.  The
bulk of the work is in [1], where I pull a lot of methods out of
Repository up into a more abstract base class called GitRepository.

Unfortunately, I hate this name "GitRepository".

I would rather rename the current Repository class to FileRepository,
and then make Repository available for this new abstract base class.
Its a pretty severe API breakage for applications, including EGit.
