I'm trying to walk a commit history to parse some commit messages. I'm passed in two RevCommits as start and end points. For some reason, the RevWalk isn't happy with these commits - RevWalk.next() returns null. However if I create duplicate RevCommits from the same Object IDs, RevWalk is fine. I've noticed there are a couple extra flags in the 'bad' versions - is creating new RevCommits the way to go? Or what am I doing wrong?
String getLog(RevCommit start, RevCommit end, Repository db) {
RevWalk rw = new RevWalk(db);
RevCommit a = rw.parseCommit(start.getId());
RevCommit b = rw.parseCommit(end.getId());
rw.reset();
rw.markStart(a);
rw.markUninteresting(b);
for(RevCommit c : rw) {
String msg = c.getFullMessage();
...
}
end : commit 339db54924b607eb6657a11dadb5f59de88d1f80 1376329171 -t--sp
b: commit 339db54924b607eb6657a11dadb5f59de88d1f80 1376329171 ----sp
start: commit 5195c009b3b0f9e58fe4b1f4e94d46c6331020e0 1376329090 -tr-sp
a: commit 5195c009b3b0f9e58fe4b1f4e94d46c6331020e0 1376329090 ---usp
Can I make this work with start/end or must I use a/b?
Thanks,
Brad
