Thank you for your continued support, Mr. Hammond. It's really
appreciated!

The StackOverflow answer can be found at:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6107439/setting-up-a-git-repository-under-review-board-on-windows-server-2003

1) When trying to use a native Windows path:
- D:\LocalClones\sdu-test (local clone) OR D:\Repository\Git\sdu-test
(core git repository) --> I get the (11001, 'getaddrinfo failed')
error.

2) When using the Cygwin path, it gives me the 'permission denied'
error, nothing in the Apache log file. I even made sure I included the
Cygwin paths in my Apache configuration file, so it's really because
the Apache server does not recognize that path.

3) Running git ls-remote from the mSysGit Bash returns results:
$ git ls-remote D:/LocalClones/sdu-test
991bb49dbacd5bf4123ab9ac5c2285836a01af35        HEAD
991bb49dbacd5bf4123ab9ac5c2285836a01af35        refs/heads/master
991bb49dbacd5bf4123ab9ac5c2285836a01af35        refs/remotes/origin/
HEAD
991bb49dbacd5bf4123ab9ac5c2285836a01af35        refs/remotes/origin/
master

$ git ls-remote D:/Repository/Git/sdu-test
991bb49dbacd5bf4123ab9ac5c2285836a01af35        HEAD
991bb49dbacd5bf4123ab9ac5c2285836a01af35        refs/heads/master

4) Trying the above Git bash paths in ReviewBoard (D:/LocalClones/sdu-
test and D:/Repository/Git/sdu-test): returns the (11001, 'getaddrinfo
failed')

5) Trying again with the file:// approach:
- file://D:/LocalClones/sdu-test  -->
<django.utils.functional.__proxy__ object at 0x04974630> error
- file://D:/Repository/Git/sdu-test  --> Permission denied accessing
the local Git repository 'D:/Repository/Git/sdu-test/' ... which is
weird actually. Running 'git ls-remote D:/Repository/Git/sdu-test'
actually works in the mSysGit bash shell.

To top it off, if I literally write: file://D:/Repository/Git/sdu-test.git
, I get the error: A repository was not found at the specified path.
Looking into the Apache log file, I find:

Any idea what I should try next?
