What version are you running?
RBTools 0.4.3
RB 1.7.6
What's the URL of the page containing the problem?
issue in post-review
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. create a svn repository "rep" in RB
2. set REPOSITORY=rep in .reviewboardrc in a svn checkout
3. post-review with some local diffs and REVIEWBOARD_URL already configured, from the svn checkout directory
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
From the post-review documentation we can use REPOSITORY as a RB repository name instead of a repository url: http://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/dev/users/tools/post-review/#repository
So I expect post-review to find the correct RB repository and push my local diffs on RB.
Debug output:
$ post-review -d

No supported repository could be accessed at the supplied url.
The issue is in client/svn.py which uses the REPOSITORY value (via the repository_url variable) as a repository url and thus ignores the local checkout, and tries to do "svn info rep".
So the feature to name the RB repository in REPOSITORY seems broken for svn.
If I don't set REPOSITORY at all, post-review scans every repository in RB to find the correct one.
I want to avoid this by somehow telling post-review the correct RB repository. What is the right way to do this?
If I set the correct url in REPOSITORY, then post-review switches in remote repository mode and I cannot push local diffs:
"The --repository-url option requires either the --revision-range option or the --diff-filename option."
Pushing already commited code do work though, although it still scans every RB repository to find the correct one.
Using REPOSITORY for two different things seems to be the real issue: we cannot distinguish between RB repository and Code Versionning repository.
