Currently, for updating a review request a -r option is needed for post-
review. However, while using Git it might make sense to set that review 
request ID to a "reviewboard.id.$branch" variable so that post-review can 
reuse that on consequent calls on that branch.

E.g.:

$ git status
# On branch XYZ
$ git config --get reviewboard.id.XYZ
$ post-review --server http://server.local/
Review request #1234 posted.
$ git config --get reviewboard.id.XYZ
1234
$ post-review
Review request #1234 posted.

I could see this as being useful. The trick will be to not leave IDs around after
deleting the branches.

Could you please let me know if there is an ETA on this fix? This is extremely useful. If no one is working on it, I would be happy to submit a patch.

AFAIK nobody is actively working on this.

I think the new 'rbt post -u' handles the underlying request in a different way.
