Uploading diffs for files which are not in any VCS

2012-10-26 Thread coys
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? Thanks

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!

 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.
