Can someone give me a tip how could I implement this using JGit API?

Or could the question in title be answered in a different way?

Let me answer my own question. Here is how I did it:

Repository db = new FileRepository(gitDir);
DirCache cache = db.readDirCache();
DirCacheEntry entry = cache.getEntry(path.toString());
ObjectId blobId = entry.getObjectId();
return db.open(blobId, Constants.OBJ_BLOB).openStream();

Problem solved. Or is there an simpler way of doing that?
