OK, so I'm looking at rolling out ReviewBoard in my new job and everything's fine, EXCEPT:
What "diff" command to use? I know MKS Toolkit won't work, I know that it pretty much needs to be the GNU diff, so I did what I normally do and installed Cygwin. The thing is, the cygwin latest (1.7) "diff" command won't work with DOS paths. Well, it can, but it complains, resulting in this: C:\TEMP>post-review -d 31214 >>> p4 info >>> repository info: Path: server:1666, Base path: None, Supports changesets: True >>> p4 counters >>> Generating diff for changenum 31214 >>> p4 describe -s 31214 >>> Processing edit of //path/to/filename.txt >>> Writing "//path/to/filename.txt #3" to "c:\temp\tmpszo_ox" >>> p4 print -o c:\temp\tmpszo_ox -q //path/to/filename.txt#3 >>> diff -urNp c:\temp\tmpszo_ox C:\Perforce\path\to\filename.txt Unable to parse diff header: MS-DOS style path detected: c:\temp\tmpszo_ox HUH????? So, it turns out that you can do this: set CYGWIN=nodosfilewarning ...which tells CYGWIN to not complain about using dos style pathnames, but I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for an alternative solution.
