Sun's javac, version 1.5.0_06 and also a Google internal fork of OpenJDK 1.6.0 both apparently miscompile the for loop which is looking for a conflicting ref name in the existing set of refs for this repository. Debugging this code showed the control flow to return LOCK_FAILURE when startsWith returned false, which is highly illogical and the exact opposite of what we have written here. OpenJDK 1.6.0's javap tool was unable to disassemble the compiled method. Instead it simply failed to produce anything about updateImpl. So my remark about the code being compiled wrong is only a guess based on how I observed the behavior, and not by actually studying the resulting instructions. Eclipse 3.4.2's JDT appears to have compiled the updateImpl method correctly, and produces a working executable. But this is a much less common compiler to build Java libraries with. Robin was able to successfully compile the ancestor version of this code with both javac 1.5.0_19 and also 1.6.0_16, but not everyone building JGit has these versions installed. This refactoring to extract the name conflicting test out into its own method appears to work around the Sun javac bug I observed above, and the resulting class works correctly with any compiler tested. The code is also more clear, so its a gain either way. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
