Hi Franck,

Git has no form of fine-grained remote access for repositories, which Review 
Board needs in order to fetch individual files, given a path and revision, for 
display in the diff viewer. Because of this, you can’t just use a URL and have 
things work. What you need instead is a piece of software that wraps your Git 
repository and can provide that form of control we need.

cgit and gitweb are two common pieces of software that can do this. They each 
provide a URL that can we can use to fetch file contents. You’ll want to 
install one of these over your Git repository, if you don’t already have it, 
and then follow these instructions:

Hello,  
I'm trying to use ReviewBoard on remote Git repositories.  

Here is the format of my repo URL : ssh://git.myhost.fr/gitroot/my_repo  

I have set up the right SSH conf and ReviewBoard seems to be able to access my 
repo URL. I mean "seem to" because I do not have the access error anymore 
("Unable to authenticate against this repository using one of the supported 
authentication types.") but ReviewBoard is now telling me that is unable to 
find a Git repo at this URL.  

The error message is : "A repository was not found at the specified path."  

According to documentation, I'm guessing that ReviewBoard does not find my repo 
since it's expecting a repo URL ending with ".git".  

Is it true ? How can I use my remote repos ?  

Thanks for your help
