rbtools-0.5.1
reviewboard server 1.7.6

What's the URL of the page containing the problem?
api/repositories

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. reviewboard server with more than 1000 repo in Europe
2. postreview client in China
3. before posting a review, list of repo is requested to match repository id/path, by default max-results is 250, so a lot of slow requests

increase default max-results for repository request ? could be all repo or been configurable in ~/.reviewboardrc

linux ubuntu/rhel

on postreview.py, this workaround has been done, is there a better way to prevent hardcoding max-results? or set it to all?

This has been open for a long time, and we now recommend setting the REPOSITORY key in .reviewboardrc to speed this up.
