In org.jboss.tools.openshift.egit.test we have a class TestRepository that we use to test our EGit utils. This class is using org.eclipse.jgit.internal.storage.file.FileRepository which is marked as internal, not publicly exported. We should look into a replacement since using it is not safe.

I mailed jgit-dev on the 27th of May:

we heavily use egit/jgit in our OpenShift tooling. We have our own set of tests and in these we use org.eclipse.jgit.internal.storage.file.FileRepository to check our commit- and push-facilites work right.
Unfortunately org.eclipse.jgit.internal.storage.file.FileRepository is marked as internal and using it is therefore not safe/recommended. Can you please export this class publicly or point us to a public replacement?
