tried that but did not work. still it hangs. i removed that line from the source and tried it and now repo gets added, but not sure whether it will work.
To see if it works, i tried to post a review request using post-review and it gives this error: "The repository path specified is not in the list of known repositories (HTTP 200, API Error 206)" the repository path it looks for is the same path except the user/ protocol information. i.e <server name>:/cvs. When adding the repo to RB, i used the same path but with protocol (:ext) and user information. Am i doing things right?
