I am looking to get the path of a commit (ie ... "/file/path/file.java")

I am able to walk through the commits using Revwalk. However, how do I get the path from the commit?

Thanks all

I think there is nothing like a "path of a commit". Commits have ID's. But you can ask the commit about the pathes of all the files in the repository (all version controlled files at the moment that commit was created). Something like:

  RevCommit commit=...
  final TreeWalk walk = new TreeWalk(db);
  walk.setRecursive(recursive);
  walk.addTree(commit.getTree());
  while (walk.next())
    outw.print(walk.getPathString());

Thank you very much for the reply. You've gotten me most of the way there I think.

I am looking to cycle through each commit and find commit information such as commiter,commit time etc.... I am also looking to get the names of all the associated files with the commit. I am able to get the commiter info, but not the names of all the files. Here is my code.

Thanks for the help

CommitListFilter block = new CommitListFilter();
CommitFilter limit = new CommitLimitFilter(1).setStop(true);
AndCommitFilter filters = new AndCommitFilter(limit, block);
CommitCursorFilter cursor = new CommitCursorFilter(filters);
Repository repo = new FileRepository(gitPath);
CommitFinder finder = new CommitFinder(repo);
finder.setFilter(cursor);
RevCommit commit = CommitUtils.getHead(repo);

while (commit != null) {

// System.out.println(commit.getAuthorIdent().getName());
// System.out.println(commit.getAuthorIdent().getEmailAddress());
// System.out.println(commit.getId().getName());

// System.out.println(commit.getAuthorIdent().getWhen());

// System.out.println(walk.getPathString());

finder.findFrom(commit);
commit = cursor.getLast();
cursor.reset();
}

Also, this returns the "tree" of altered files. I merely want a list of all the files that have changed and where the alterations were.

Why don't you just use StatusCommand or DiffCommand from org.eclipse.jgit.api?
