That's great, thanks! That gets me the file names. Now, how do I get to the contents of each file?

Do I have to do a git ls-tree and parse the contents, paying attention to only the files listed out with the git diff --name-only? I'm guessing there's a simpler way. Git show <newref> prints out all the diffs for that commit, but I need to examine the entire file.

Thanks so much for the response! -Chris
