That's fine given that we are moving to 2.0 after shipping 1.3 soon.
We haven't really had the "2.0" discussion yet but this looks like to
be a good way to start it. There are probably other API breaking
changes we can do to simplify the code base. Since there are a lot
more JGit adopters now, we can try to inquire what people would like
to change.
