[JGIT PATCH 03/11] Replace inefficient new String(String) constructor to silence FindBugs

["Shawn O. Pearce" <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.
