Greetings,

I'm trying to figure out why a diff, regardless of whether it was created with local diff tools or rbt, keeps reporting that it can't find a particular revision of a file in the repository.

Using: Git and reviewboard 2.0.5
What I've tried:
rbt diff
rbt post master changed_branch
other permutations of the above to load the diff into reviewboard.

Right now, I'm grasping at straws, and I'm not even sure how to begin debugging the issue. The reviewboard user has access to the repository. Gitweb access is configured properly... all of the usual suspects aren't that suspicious.

I know I've done something wrong. I just don't know what.

Any tips on where to start debugging would be greatly appreciated.
-Kevin

Do master and origin/master point to the same thing?

Yes. Same hash.

More digging showed that creating a review from a new branch via rbt post works. Attempting to do a post-commit review is where the error occurs.

What commands are you using for your "post-commit review"?

I tried rbt post HEAD~1 to get a diff from the last commit to the master, but it only caused the error.

That command would try to post the diff contained in the commit HEAD~1 (so the diff between HEAD~2..HEAD~2), which may not actually have the changes you expected. If you want the diff between master~1 and master, you can run 'rbt post master'
