------------------------------------------
> Except we don't add new features to branches, but only to trunk, right?
Sounds perfect to me. It is just that 0.20 is an "unreleased" branch.
> Also, what's the use case for newInstanceLocal()?
An application that uses newInstance() method assumes that a new filesystem
object is created (irrespective of the path that is being passed in). It does
not matter whether it is a local path or a hdfs path. The application logic
does not have to change depending on the FileSystem that it is trying to
access. So, I would like to keep the newInstanceLocal() method.
> FileSystem.CACHE should be ref-counted
