github patches need to have the entire SHA1 hash
Review Request #1753 — Created Aug. 31, 2010 and discarded
When uploading patches to review in review board and the project is hosted on github this happens: * because git diff writes only a small part of the SHA1 by default this is recorded in the diff * review board takes that part and tries to access the github API using only this info * github offers an empty page with no HTTP error * review board tries to apply a diff to an empty file, resulting in an error Manual solution: do a git diff with --full-index Patch solution: if the diff doesn't contain the full index then throw an error
