How to perform git diff --name-status origin/master...HEAD in the LibGit2Sharp?

Question

I am using LibGit2Sharp. How can I invoke the git diff command with the following parameters?

git diff --name-status origin/master...HEAD

I know, that git diff A...B is equivalent to git diff $(git-merge-base A B) B.

I found a solution to do this. You can do it in this way:

1) Get two commits common ancestor.

2) Get diff between trees.

var baseCommit = repo.ObjectDatabase.FindMergeBase(repo.Branches["origin/master"].Tip, repo.Head.Tip);
var diff = repo.Diff.Compare<TreeChanges>(baseCommit.Tree, repo.Head.Tip.Tree);
