[jgit-dev] Creating the equivalent of "git diff"

[Zach Oakes <zsoakes@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to make an exact equivalent to the plain "git diff" command programmatically. The only remaining issue is that it doesn't seem to be respecting the repository's gitignore file. I am getting numerous diffs for files in a build directory, which do not appear when I run it on the command line. I would appreciate help if anyone can provide it.

DirCacheIterator dci = new DirCacheIterator(repo.readDirCache());

FileTreeIterator fti = new FileTreeIterator(repo);

ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

DiffFormatter df = new DiffFormatter(out);

df.setRepository(repo);

List<DiffEntry> entries = df.scan(dci, fti);
