[egit-dev] Compare with Revision functionality

[Mihael Vrbanec <vrbanec@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I tried to implement the "Compare with Revision" feature that seems to 
be related to http://code.google.com/p/egit/issues/detail?id=93 .
I got the action hooked up in the "compare with"-context menu of 
workspace resources just above "compare with git index". The history of 
the file is shown nicely in the HistoryView and on double click the 
compare editor opens.
However, I did not manage to get the content of the selected commit as 
the right side of the editor. The left side displays the workspace 
revision correctly.

My question is: I have a RevCommit (the entry selected in the history 
view) and want to obtain the corresponding revision of the file. I tried 
using
...
final String gitPath = mapping.getRepoRelativePath(resource);
final IFileRevision nextFile = GitFileRevision.inCommit(
                       db,
                       commit,
                       gitPath,
                       commit);

to no avail. I guess I am missing some concept regarding git/jgit here.

Thanks for your help
regards Mihael
