Indeed.. Shame IBM isn't using Review Board (at least, I don't know if they
are). Maybe they could give us a license or some code or something.
Little by little, I'm setting up some build/test VMs, and I'm hoping to get
to a point where we can have better post-review and Review Board tests
against installed servers of various types. But it's a long, time-consuming
project.

I don't know how similarly people use Clearcase, but I am fairly
certain that the way my organization uses it is very non-standard. The
typical review scenario would be to review modified code in a view,
not checked in code.
Fitting Clearcase's model into Reviewboard is a bit of square in round
hole problem, though at the most basic level you can do the same thing
that's done for other SCM systems: provide a base revision set and
diff against it. Some of the stuff you mentioned is all possible,
though it doesn't fit nicely into the ReviewBoard model as-is. Feel
free to start up a thread in the dev mailing list and I'll help with
whatever I can. However, I personally think your time might be better
spent getting rid of Clearcase from your organization :)
Christian, you'd likely need a mighty generous donor to get a
Clearcase license. You'll also probably regret it once you try to set
the beast up...

At least for ClearCase, most places have a standard naming convention
for their views and/or config specs.
Either way all it takes is for the client to prompt for and pass two
view tags (strings) or config specs (small ascii files) in order for
the web server to start the before and after views of the change
locally on the server host and generate the diff... no file copy will
be needed.
This might be easier than dealing with verson extended pathnames.
Dealing with directory changes (moving files from one place to
another / renaming the files) is more difficult and we will need to
use the ClearCase Object ID strings instead of file path names.

I am also thinking it might be a good idea to add a repository

This way anyone with any source repository can just create the
before
and after soure trees outside RB and pass the roots of the source
trees to the post-review script for posting.
This won't work as Review Board needs to be able to access the
respective SCM
repository from the server-side to apply the posted diff to the base
revision.
For the server this is true. RE the client,
http://reviews.reviewboard.org/r/1197/sortof does this. It allows any
diff to be sent to reviewboard but it had better be a valid diff
:-)
