What version are you running?
1.0.5.1

What's the URL of the page containing the problem?
<base url>/r/new/

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Go to "New Review Request" page (url listed above)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The dropdown for repository does not list configured respositories.  In my 
case, it should list a single CVS repository.

What operating system are you using? What browser?
ReviewBoard is running under Apache 2.2 under Windows Server 2003

Please provide any additional information below.
It looks like filesystem.py checks for the explicit presence of a file 
with extension '.exe'.  If one is using TortoiseCVS for CVS connectivity, 
the newest version has replaced the cvs.exe file with one called 
TortoiseAct.exe.  As a result, filesystem.py returns false (indicating hte 
file is not present) even though via the command line one *can* execute 
the command (Not sure how this is mapped to execution of the renamed 
executable, you'd have to ask the Tortoise folks)

We no longer support hosting Review Board on windows, due to a myriad of problems like this one.
