I have a .reviewboardrc file in that directory. It contains server, 
username, and password declarations. With --debug rbt does not tell me it 
is reading the file, but I know it is because I get syntax errors if it has 
syntax problems.  If it is reading it, it is presumably using it.

There doesn't seem to be a command line option to just give a repository 
name. There are:

–repository-type
–repository-url

Should I use the URL one to specify type? I had been leaving both out 
since, like I said, I already had the diffs. The docs for post:

https://www.reviewboard.org/docs/rbtools/0.7/rbt/commands/post/
(My version, but the later one is the same on this point.)

Just say I need username and password with a "--diff-filename=-". If that's 
wrong, it would be good to have it corrected.

trying to automate rbt post

[benjamin . at . motive]

I'd like to automatically open review requests when people commit to 
particular branch names.

I've got hooks in place that can start a process on any commit, compare the 
branch name against a regular expression and then proceed from there.

My code knows how to create a diff itself and does so already. I'd thought 
that with a diff I could just 

   diffgenerator |  rbt post --submit-as=USER --diff-filename=-

I get an error though:

   ERROR: The current directory does not contain a checkout from a 
supported source code repository.

That's right. Many of the repos have a .reviewboardrc file checked in, so 
I'm not running the command from those directories because I want my 
.reviewboardrc file with my "special" user for sending --submit-as commits. 
I'd rather not have to put the user/password on the command line.

Is this doable? What do I need to change to get this to work?

I'm not running latest and greatest, I could upgrade if needed, but I'd 
rather wait a little longer.
