Subject: [JGIT PATCH 09/13] Replace inefficient new String(String) constructor to silence FindBugs
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2009 14:12:22 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1240953146-12878-10-git-send-email-spearce@spearce.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1240953146-12878-9-git-send-email-spearce@spearce.org>

FindBugs keeps reporting that our usage of new String(String)
is not the most efficient way to construct a string.

Another way to force this new unique String instance with its own
private char[] is to use a StringBuilder and append onto it the
ref name.  This shouldn't be a warning for FindBugs, but it would
accomplish the same goal of producing 1 clean copy, with no extra
transient temporary array.
