    Bug Fixes¶

    rbt patch¶

    • Fixed running rbt patch --print when the Review Board server URL is defined via the TREES setting.

    • Fixed patching on SVN repositories when the working directory has no overlap with the patch’s base directory.

      rbt patch attempted to be smart about applying patches when the current working directory was different from the working directory that the Review Request was originally created from. Unfortunately, this broke applying patches across different branches. This has been fixed to skip any filtering when there is no overlap between the patch’s base directory and the current working directory.

    rbt post¶

    • Fixed MIME type guessing when file was not available.

      RBTools 5.1 added a fallback method for detecting the MIME type of binary files included in diffs for when the file command is not present. This had a couple issues that could cause crashes in some situations.

    IBM ClearCase / HCL DevOps Code ClearCase¶

    • Fixed repository matching when posting against Review Board servers older than 7.0.1.

    Mercurial¶

    • Fixed file revision parsing to avoid unwanted debug output from the hg command.
