so here is the story so far, I have installed review board on linux environment, I have configured everything, installed post-review and it works...
What does not work is the repository. Our repository was migrated at some point from SVN to mercurial, then there were lot of crude file management made like moving files around without hg move. So what I wanted was to run a script that would gather and post reviews for every cset containing more than two parents (every cset that was merged to default branch) and diff it with previous default branch revision to see what catastrophic changes my fellow collegues have made to the code. Sort of like a history book and of course schedule a job to store new review requests that would be made in the future.
Anyway post-review 95% of a time is throwing me error 207 that this or that file was not found (due to hg missusage mentioned above). Needless to say it is one big repo - considering it is daily synced with 8 other repositories.
Maybe there is some workaround to skip missing file diff's and just go with what post-review got so far or smt ?
I have been reading all sorts of issue tickets all day long... nothing yet so far :(
Please help...
