True.  But I have a nearly allergic reaction to Apache code;
for some reason its always sort of not quite there.  Which also
describes jgit so I shouldn't say anything.  ;-)

We can always rip this implementation out if we do wind up taking
in the Apache Commons libraries for other support.  There is only
1 or two calls sites and it should be easy enough to change over
to the Apache Commons implementation.
