Dear JGit Developers-
I've been scouring the web, and I have not been able to find a working example of how to use the log command.
I have this code: (the file points to a current git checkout/clone).
if I navigate to that directory, and type "git log", I get output that makes sense.
when I run this code, it triggers the nohead exception:
no head exception :
org.eclipse.jgit.api.errors.NoHeadException: No HEAD exists and no explicit starting revision was specified
my questions are:
1) how do I get the log information?
2) how do I set switches (like -n for the number of logs) to the log command?
thanks
-Jill

LogCommand log = git.log();
try {

System.

System.
out.println(commit.getAuthorIdent().getName());
System.
out.println(commit.getAuthorIdent().getWhen());
System.
out.println(commit.getFullMessage());
}
}
catch (NoHeadException e) {
System.
out.println("no head exception : " + e);
}
