Actually its easier, do this:

  RevWalk walk = ...;
  walk.markStart(headCommit);
  walk.markUninteresting(headId);
  for (RevCommit next : walk) {
    ... loops over only the commits in headId..headCommit ...
  }

The trick is markUnintereesting(), its the --not argument of git log.
Or use LogCommand like Chris suggested.
