Hi,
Internally, in the case of an unpushed branch, Review Board does store a
parent diff between the parent revision and the posted diff. However,
this is not exposed to the user. Typically what will happen in this case is
that the parent changes will have their own review requests, in which case
they can be applied in order (the Depends On field is useful to indicate
to others the relationship). Sometimes I'll ask someone to update the
review request with a change that applies cleanly to a specific branch.
We're working on dramatically improving our DVCS capabilities, specifically
with regards to posting entire branches at once. This will make it so every
commit on the branch will be included, and `rbt patch` will be able to
apply the entire branch at once, reproducing the commits exactly.

Hello Review Board users / developers,
What is the recommended approach for reconstructing a work copy of the
changes in a review request?
I am most specifically interested in Git where branching may occur.
It seems that an approach would be to
1. Checkout the repo with the base revision which I can get from the
Review Board API.
2. rbt patch to apply the changes
However, it seems that I can't always just checkout from the base revision
as that revision may be in a unpushed branch.
How can I reconstruct the repo up to the point where the base revision is
if I can't directly check out the changes. Does Review Board store all the
diffs leading up to the uploaded diff for branches? Is this information
exposed to the user?
Thanks!
