Support "git log --path"

Do we support git log --path? It seems there is no path parameter in Filter. Is there another way to implement "git log --path"?

Libgit2 exposes all the basic functions to make this possible, but it's not available yet in LibGit2Sharp.

@arrbee wrote some code to demonstrate how to make this happen.

I am waiting this parameter also, but I have some code for path filter, see https://gist.github.com/Aimeast/6250443

Can anyone assign this to me?

Can anyone assign this to me?

Tried but can't assign to non-collaborator. 👿

That said, it's all yours.

Does libgit2 already supported to the path filter?

@Aimeast There's no direct API for that. It can be done at a managed level by iterating commits which contain the path.

Hi @carlosmn i tried #963 but could not achieve it. below is what i am doing. can u check if i am doing it correct. help is much appreciated.

        public static void GetFileHistory(string filepath,string repopath)
        {
            using (var repo = new Repository(repopath))
            {
                // here i am using absolute file path
                IEnumerable<LogEntry> history = repo.Commits.QueryBy(filepath);
                //problem is here. it does not go into loop. 
                foreach(LogEntry e in history)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(e.Commit.Message);
                }
            }
        }

/// here is what i get
GetEnumerator() result view is always null
