[jgit-dev] using the JGit library to get a list of all the files from a

[David Portabella <david.portabella@xxxxxxxxx>]

with svn we can get a list of all the files in a remote repository without checking out the contents locally, with svn list <url>.

if i understood it correctly, the git client/protocol does not allow this possibility.

so, i would need to do as follows:

git clone <url>

git ls-tree -r --name-only remotes/origin/master

however, this means that I need to download all the files locally.

is it possible create a program that lists all the files, without downloading all the files?

or according to the git procotol, it is impossible to get such a list without downloading the content of all the files?

if it is possible, can this be done with the JGit library?

any help in this direction?

Regards,

David
