Welcome to the Splat alpha!

I need more information on the file and its circumstances. Is the file that it
references a brand new file in one of those revisions?

If you run with --output-diff, do you see a diff that makes sense for that file?

hi chiox86,

Your review request still exists, but the diff is not attached.

When I run it with --output-diff it does produce me a nice diff of the 
/trunk/Client/App_Code/VBCode/ClientUtilities.vb file (which was modified in r12100 
and before that it was modified in r11836)

Is there any further information I can provide you?

Thanks!

I ran into the same error from post-review and managed to get it working.

For our SVN repository we use the advised layout: trunk, tags, branches. If in the
administration interface I defined the path to the repository including trunk I got
the error above. But removing trunk made it work. I don't know if this is a bug or
expected behavior, to me it looks more like a bug.

Yeah, you must point to the base of the repository, *not* a path inside of it. We
will be enforcing this behavior for 1.5.

I've been getting this too when generating a diff from Tortoise which contains the full 
local path c:\Projects\etc...

By changing _get_relative_path in SvnRepositoryInfo (line 217 of postreview.py) of the 
version I'm using to always return the pathdirs instead of just '/' it fixes the 
problem however I'm not sure what ramifications that has as I've only spent a few 
minutes debugging it. Hope that's useful info anyway.

I'm having the same problem. Please help Info below..

same thing if i run with --output-diff it produces a diff!
what do i do to fix this??

Is the very tip of the repository http://svn02/repos/perl/, or
http://svn02/repos/perl/perl-group-dashboard/?

Why is pointing to the tip of the repo a requirement?

If you point to a subdirectory within, and generate a diff outside of that
subdirectory, you'll hit problems. Sometimes even if you generate within. Our code
all assumes that every repository's URL specified is the tip of the repository. Part
of that is the information returned from svn itself. Changing these assumptions
complicates things without providing any true benefit.

The fact that users have been able to get away with not doing this with Subversion is
an oversight and one that will bite them in time, and do bite some people today.
