Matthew, That's correct. On the server side, the Review Board application reads from the repository to get the original versions of the files being changed, and for some version control systems, to get the data for creating "post commit" review requests via the web UI. It does not write to the repo (at some distant point in the future we may possibly add the ability for the server to land changes, but that's a ways off).
On the client side, the 'rbt' command-line tools invoke the local VCS tools (like git, svn, etc) to interact with the user's checkout, which may involve round-trips to the server but it's no different than if the user had invoked those tools themselves. -David On Mon, Dec 4, 2017 at 2:25 PM Matthew Donovan <matthewp.dono...@gmail.com> wrote: > We are evaluating ReviewBoard at my company and had some questions about > how Review Board accesses repositories.
