Summary: GitStatusResponse API

Initial Comment:
None of the methods in the GitStatus Response really do what I want:

I have a list/array of files.  I want to call GitStatus once, then iterate over my list and get the status of each file.

eg. 
GitStatusResponse gsr = new GitStatus().status(myroot);

for (File f : myfileList) {
stat.add(gsr.getStatus(f));
}

or something like that.

Currently that does not seem to be possible in the existing api.

I have added a new method to GitStatusResponse class: getFileStatus(),
which takes java.io.File object as a parameter and return
GitFileSystemObject.Status value. For the simplest example, check out
getFileStatus() in GitStatus.java
(/javagit/trunk/javagit/src/main/java/edu/nyu/cs/javagit/api/commands).
That should allow you to query the status of any file the way you wanted.

Paul,
I apologize, I actually misunderstood your original question. However, if
you use API, you can still get list of  GitFileSystemObjects from
WorkingTree (getTree()) and then iterate through the list and call
getStatus() on each object. There is one complication: you have to check if
GitFileSystemObject object is a GitFile object, and then convert it to one,
before you call getStatus().

There is a different way to get the status of the of a file. You can use
higher level API. WorkingTree class has  a method GitFile getFile(File
file), which returns you an instance of GitFile. You can then simply call
GitFile's getStatus() method.

If you really do not want to use that API, I've also recently added a new
method to GitStatus: getFileStatus(). Then you can simply do the
following:

File repositoryDirectory;
/*
init repository directory...
*/

File myFile("foo");
GitFileSystemObject.Status status = new
GitStatus().getSingleFileStatus(repositoryDirectory, myFile);

GitFileSystemObject.Status is an enumeration. See GitFileSystemObject.java
for details.

ALSO, in this new getStatus method, please consider returning untracked
for files which are in an untracked folder.
