You're right, but I think we can get rid of isValid, and plan to send a patch.
A FileEntry handed out by FileManager always has isValid = true. It's not
possible to create a useful FileEntry outside FileManager (and this is never
done outside FileManagerTest). So the concept of validity isn't needed.
(IMO the main cost of having the isValid flag is conceptual complexity - lots
of places check it, which means people must be thinking about how to handle
this case)
