Hi Ariel, Unfortunately, we don't otherwise have a way to get data out of GitBlit today. If they don't expose that feature, we can't get the data needed to perform code reviews, and other code review tools and services are going to have the same problem. Git's protocol just doesn't have the kind of fine-grained access that a code review tool needs, so we depend on the APIs provided by services like GitBlit.
If you have Review Board running on the same server as GitBlit and can point Review Board to the local ".git" directory on the filesystem, then you can do that. Alternatively, you can set up a Git clone that's constantly in sync, and use that instead.
