Sebb commented on IO-157:
-------------------------
Not sure I understand why changing a method to return File rather than void can
break binary compatibility.
Any existing code that uses the void method will still work; the return value
will just be ignored.
> [FileUtils] Return target File from copyFileToDirectory()

> It would be useful if the FileUtils.copyFileToDirectory() method returned the
> target file to which it does the copy. Currently, it creates the target File
> object, passes it to copyFile(), and discards the reference. This could just
> be returned from the method instead.
