Overview

DVCS (or multiple commit review request) support is an improvement of our pre-commit (although pre-push would be a better name) workflow for DVCS SCMs such as Git and Mercurial. This feature allows users to:

• create review requests that contain multiple commits, each of which has an associated patch;
• review each commit's patch individually;
• review spans of commits (called inter-commit diffs), including the entire, cumulative diff;
• apply the entire stack of patches individually; and
• apply the entire stack of patches cumulatively as a single patch.

Enabling DVCS

RBTools

The master branch is required. Apply the required patches to your RBTools checkout by running the following commands:

rbt patch -C 9911
rbt patch -C 9921

Review Board

The release-4.0.x branch is required. Support for uploading commits (but not for viewing) has presently landed. However, this is all hidden behind a feature flag.
