Got past this issue. It was related to my connection string in my CVS directory's "Root" file. I was modifying it, trying to get past a different error. The summary is my connection string was incorrect, so when I did the "post-review --output-diff" it wasn't able to connect, thus why it had the empty diff.
I'm now back to working on my "Error uploading diff" issue. On Tuesday, July 2, 2013 9:38:40 AM UTC-7, James Oravec wrote: > > Hi Christian, > > Did you guys ever figure out the issue with this?
