Realizing the original post is a bit older, however I just have to drop a comment to let others know that if you are looking for software to allow for the review of code and whatnot, this is well worth the efforts. Add to that the I don’t think ChipX86 actually has been asleep since this post was published and you just have to want to learn more!

Try to drink coffee – it will undoubtedly help you not to sleep =))

I suppose that it would be sane to allow to post source files through json API. Source files must have the same names and paths as in diff.
When looking at review request in web interface there should be *very* well visible sign which told us that source files have been uploaded by submitter.
When you make JSON api more or less stable it should be trivial to write command line tools, plugins for IDEs and even separate applications which did the job.

Git support hasn’t been attempted to my knowledge. We’d welcome a patch

Review Board supports multiple repositories right now, but they must all be configured up-front. Given that Review Board needs source files to apply the patches to, we figure distributed SCM support would require special tool support for uploading both the source files and the patches, unless the diffs were against a publicly accessible repository.

Review Board doesn’t yet have support for accepting source files along with the diffs, but it’s something we want to see added. If anybody wants to help with this, please let us know. I’ll be glad to discuss any ideas and help with an implementation.

Has Git support been attempted or evoked yet? I haven’t seen anything on the ML about it. The XMMS2 team has shown some interest in trying ReviewBoard with Git, but personally I’m also working on addressing the sleep issue atm.

Also, do you think that ReviewBoard is adapted or could be extended to better support distributed SCMs (multiple repositories, etc)?

Thanks for this great project!
