Sorry to resuscitate this old discussion, but I STILL haven't managed to get Review-Board to work on my server.
I'm now using the path file://D:/Repository/Git/sdu-test.git as it seems to 'work' the most. Now, based on your recommendation, I checked my PATH environment variable. I tried with both the Cygwin Git AND the mSysGit binaries (separately). In both cases, the Git executable is accessible (tested by just doing Start->Run->"git") yet in both cases I have the exact same error message in my Apache log file when trying to add my repository: ERROR:root:Git: Failed to find valid repository file://D:/Repository/Git/sdu-test.git: error: cannot spawn sh: No such file or directory fatal: unable to fork Again, I am really clueless, None of the Gits I have seem to work. Any suggestions??
