Method Detail

call

public RevCommit call()
               throws NoHeadException,
                      NoMessageException,
                      UnmergedPathException,
                      ConcurrentRefUpdateException,
                      JGitInternalException,
                      WrongRepositoryStateException

Executes the commit command with all the options and parameters collected by the setter methods of this class. Each instance of this class should only be used for one invocation of the command (means: one call to call())

Returns:

a RevCommit object representing the successful commit.

Throws:

NoHeadException - when called on a git repo without a HEAD reference

NoMessageException - when called without specifying a commit message

UnmergedPathException - when the current index contained unmerged paths (conflicts)

WrongRepositoryStateException - when repository is not in the right state for committing

JGitInternalException - a low-level exception of JGit has occurred. The original exception can be retrieved by calling Throwable.getCause(). Expect only IOException's to be wrapped. Subclasses of IOException (e.g. UnmergedPathException) are typically not wrapped here but thrown as original exception
