Filter commits by matching a Pattern in a path

[vmassol]

It would be nice to be able to have a filter that you configure with a path Pattern and it'll return all commits that have modified files matching the path Pattern.

I see there's PatternFindCommitFilter which is close but it's abstract and implementing classes only check in the commit message and not in file paths.

Thanks for this great tool! :)

FTR I've been able to write the following after some research (took me a while to understand that to get the path I needed a DiffEntry :)):

    public class PatternFindPathFilter extends CommitDiffFilter
    {
        private final Matcher matcher;

        public PatternFindPathFilter(String pattern, int flags)
        {
            super(false);
            this.matcher = Pattern.compile(pattern, flags).matcher("");
        }

        @Override
        public boolean include(RevCommit commit, Collection<DiffEntry> diffs) throws IOException
        {
            // If one of the diff entry points to some path matching the pattern then count it in!
            for (DiffEntry diffEntry : diffs) {
                if (this.matcher.reset(diffEntry.getNewPath()).find()) {
                    return true;
                }
            }
            return false;
        }
    }
