-------------------------------------------------------------
I also don't see how changing a return type from "void" to return something is
going to ever break compatibility for someone. However nothing has changed
since Stephens comment - we were already on Java 1.5 then and I don't see how
upgrading to Java 1.5 means binary incompatibility is no longer a problem?

> 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.
