Working with diff files through the API.

[ejsmile]

Retrieving data from the API will eliminate the need to download the entire repository and will not require additional settings on the build agents.

Steps to obtain changes:

1 Pull the list of commits from PullRequest

_apis/git/repositories/{Repository}/pullrequests/{PullRequestId}/commits

value -> url

2 In the commits, get the list of changes

_apis/git/repositories/{Repository}/commits/{CommitId}

_links -> changes -> href

3 Obtain the changes

_apis/git/repositories/{Repository}/commits/{CommitId}/changes

The changes themselves will be in changes -> item -> url and you can filter by file names through changes -> item -> path.
