Something which appears frequently here is "you should really be using post-review". At the moment, this is a bad answer, because there is no usable Windows GUI that does post-review.
First, let me give you some of my background. I am Linux-Emacs-Python-Bazaar kind of programmer. I worked for several years as a programmer on http://launchpad.net/, and before that I worked on http://texmacs.org/. For the last year I have been working in an investment bank, in a team where the standard development environment is Windows-Visual-C++-TortoiseSVN. Note that I say TortoiseSVN: most of folks involved in writing code are actually mathematicians, they do not consider themselves as programmers (they're wrong), but getting them to use command-line Subversion is out of the question. First because command.com sucks, but also because they are just not interested in this kind of arcana. Now, I introduced ReviewBoard there because doing code reviews by mailing around unified diffs, as I used to do it on Launchpad, was just unnecessary distracting pain to my Windows-using collaborators. In this context, they easiest and least distracting way I found for them submit reviews was to show them the specific recipe required for TortoiseSVN to generate diffs that contain paths that reviewboard can process (the naive approach produces a diff with absolute filesystem paths, gah!). I would love to be able to tell them: Here's a setup.exe, after you install it, you will have new contextual menu entry in explorer that allows up to submit a new review or upload a new diff to an existing review. But until there is something close to that, they will still use TortoiseSVN to generate a diff. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "reviewboard" group.
