Accessing files committed by initial commit with GitPython

[sztankatt]

I'm using GitPython for working with a git repository. To list the files added/deleted/changed I use the following code:

diff_files = []
for parent in commit.parents:
    diff_files += [x.b_path for x in commit.diff(parent)]

However, the first commit doesn't have any parents, so this approach fails. Any ideas how might I do it in a different way?

Maybe the questions are related, but do you think the edit portion of this question on stackoverflow answers your question ?

EMPTY_TREE_SHA = "4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904"

if not i.parents:
    diff = i.diff(EMPTY_TREE_SHA, create_patch=True, **diffArgs)
else:
    diff = i.diff(i.parents[0], create_patch=True, **diffArgs)

Yes, sorry, since the I solved it similarly as you described in your comment.
