Probably just use a TreeFilter:
 
> mTreeWalk = new TreeWalk(mRepo);

> mTreeWalk.addTree(new FileTreeIterator(aRootFolder));
> mTreeWalk.addTree(mRevWalk.parseTree(mRepo.resolve(Constants.HEAD)));

mTreeWalk.setFilter(PathFilter.create("src/main/java"))

would cause it to only consider the items in the "src/main/java"
subdirectory of your project.
