How to use JGit to get list of changed files?

Question

Using JGit, I want to get a list of files changed on commits as is possible with git log --name-status.

Is this possible? If so, how do you do it?

I use a modified version of the JGitUtils from the great GitBlit-Tool:

Look at the source of the method getFilesInCommit to see how this can work (PathChangeModel is just used to hold the data.)

That link goes directly to the master branch so the target line moves around. Here's a [more durable link](https://github.com/gitblit/gitblit/blob/3e0c6ca8a65bd4b076cac1451c9cdfde4be1d4b8/src/main/java/com/gitblit/utils/JGitUtils.java#L917) that goes to a specific commit hash so it won't change over time. – Tim Mattison Aug 18 '14 at 22:45
@TimMattison, thanks. Github should really have an easy "permalink". – Paul Draper Feb 28 '15 at 18:30
What do you do with `DiffStatFormatter.java`? Is there any update to this question? – Whitecat Oct 07 '16 at 23:08
