git merge-base origin/master refs/heads/dev Failed to execute command:

 ['git', 'merge-base', 'origin/master', 'refs/heads/dev']

    > fatal: Not a valid object name origin/master






I did changed the .reviewboardrc to tracking_branch as mainBranch but still it refers to master branch

I am not sure where to change this to compare my git dev branch code against mainBranch

RBTools 0.3.4 is terribly, terribly ancient, and we aren't making any other fixes or changes to post-review. Please update to the RBTools 0.7 series and use rbt post instead.
