| Re: [jgit-dev] Creating the equivalent of "git diff" |
I think it may be related to the fact that my repos are stored on an external drive (EXFAT format, if that matters). When I run my code with CanonicalTreeParser, I get diffs for every file that look like this:diff --git a/README.md b/README.md
old mode 100644
new mode 100755
So I think something about being stored on an external drive is making it detect a file mode change. I'm still not sure why it appears here, but not with "git diff", but it's at least reassuring that this is probably specific to my setup.ZachOn Wed, Sep 17, 2014 at 9:48 AM, Robin Stocker <robin@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Yes. Just tried your code here and it works as expected. So it
sounds like your problem may be specific to your repository or
configuration.
Are you able to share your repository?
Can you share the output of `git config --list` when executed
in your repository?
You mentioned at the beginning that files that should be ignored
are included, could you share your .gitignore files?
By the way, the most straightforward way to do "git diff" using
the API is this:
Git git = Git.wrap(repo);
List<DiffEntry> entries = git.diff().call();
(Unfortunately, doing "git diff HEAD" isn't as straighforward,
something we should fix. I filed a bug for that [1].)
