Uploading diffs for files which are not in any VCS
Hello, I'd like to upload diffs for files which are currently not stored in any VCS. I've tried creating a unified_diff between my files and manually uploading them to reviewboard but the upload fails. Also, faking the headers on the diff does not work for me either? Is there a header fake I can use to get the diff uploaded, or do I need to work on a scmtools plugin so that it can upload my files and render the diff?

Re: Uploading diffs for files which are not in any VCS
Hi, Review Board today does not provide this ability. We only show diffs backed by files in a repository. You'll need some form of SCMTool. Our headers are generated by our diff generator. We basically don't use any of the information in the diff for rendering. Rather, we just apply the diff to the files and then do our own special diffing.

Re: Uploading diffs for files which are not in any VCS
Thanks for the reply Chris. Btw, is this something we'd expect to see later down the line? For e.g. for code reviews, I can understand why one would expect to see reviewboard bound tighly with a VCS. However, this feature looks like it'd be useful, especially exploring using it for applications where data is being persisted as documents in a nosql database (basically schemaless json) and you'd like to track how it evolved over time. Removing the restriction to a VCS hook would be very useful here. Thanks! On Oct 26, 1:24 pm, Christian Hammond chip...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, Review Board today does not provide this ability.

There are higher priorities, but it's something I would like to add for certain reasons down the line.
