Hi
According to Git, you need to phyically copy the file into Git in order to commit. Is there any way through the code for the AddCommand class that to put the file including the location, and it copies the file into Git from the location you specify?
I have looked, but couldn't find anything. I don't think there is, but wanted to confirm if you knew.

With the high level API, all files have to reside within the git repository.
The lower level API's can take data from anywhere, it doesn't even have to be
a file, but it requires more work. Look at the AddCommand implementation for
inspiration, especially it's use or a DirCacheEditor, DirCacheEntry and ObjectInserter.

and be aware that there are several other high-level jgit commands which can't work properly if you don't have all the files collected in your working tree. E.g. how should the status command be able to tell you about the status (e.g. which files have been modified locally since the last commit) if jgit doesn't know anymore where your local files reside.
But if your only use case is to add some content which doesn't reside in your working tree - then robin's suggestion is perfect.
