Get original file before changes

[rafid]

Hi all

is there any easy way (REST API etc.) to get original fies before changes after commit?
For example, when I have to review code changes i want to compare changes in external tool which does not support current diff format.  can I get the changed files before and after so i can compare them each other on external tool?

From the change you get the patchset and parent sha-1 and then use this endpoint:

https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/rest-api-projects.html#get-content-from-commit

To get the file before (parent) and after (patchset).
