Hi! I'm looking into using ReviewBoard with Perforce, and being used to CodeCollab I find that your product holds up surprisingly well in some aspects, in addition to having a slicker UI.
One major useful feature in Collab however is the ability to change what you are diffing against when viewing a file diff, namely any upload that was done to update the review, or any committed revision of the file if it was modified in source control since the start of the review. See attachment for a screenshot where the file wasn't updated externally, so only revision #3 shows. If I had to merge other people's changes, there would be a Version #4, Version #5 and so on, which correspond to the Perforce file revisions. Swarm added a similar functionality in recent versions: see first screenshot here: https://www.perforce.com/manuals/swarm/Content/Swarm/basics.diffs.html#Viewing_a_diff - it's becoming a pretty standard feature. (Direct link to screenshot: https://www.perforce.com/manuals/swarm/Content/Resources/Images/swarm-panel-diffs.png) I was wondering if you're planning to add this to ReviewBoard, and whether there are major technical obstacles to implementing that. Honestly if it did have this feature it would become a credible CodeCollab replacement in my view, with the added benefit of being open-source.
