Hello,

I just started using RB on Windows and I'm able to post new RB requests but I can't update them.

For instance, I have an open RB. I did some changes to my branch and pushed them to my repo but when I run "rbt post -u" I get ERROR: There don't seem to be any diffs!

I'm not sure what kind of debugging output I can add. Please ask for anything.

Thanks,

Christian Hammond

Hi Emmanuel,

Sorry for the late reply. Our paid support channel has been keeping us very busy lately.

Are you pushing to a fork, or the upstream repository? If a fork, is the "origin" remote pointing to that, or to the upstream repository?

If "origin" does not point to the upstream repository, you will need to pass --tracking-branch=<remote>/<branch> (e.g., --tracking-branch=main-remote/release-1.0.x). This can also be set in .reviewboardrc using the TRACKING_BRANCH option.

Hi Christian,

No worries, and I eventually found the answer you're suggesting. I wasn't tracking against master.

Thank you,
