Also I observed that you are cloning the repository from git.cloud.com instead of the Apache repository which is this (https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-cloudstack.git ). Clone it from here and checkout to master since 3.0.x is considered to be a dead branch as David mentioned. Please go through this document once (http://wiki.cloudstack.org/display/dev/Git+workflow+in+the+brave+new+world ) and follow the procedure which I mentioned in my previous mail.

Sorry, I'm new to git and Review Board. I created my working directory from this repository and branch and I made my edits: git clone http://git.cloud.com/cloudstack-oss --branch 3.0.x If I choose "cloudstack-git" at https://reviews.apache.org/r/new/ and submit a diff file (the output of "git diff"), it reports the error "The file 'awsapi/conf/cloud-bridge.properties' (r08f5603) could not be found in the repository". I think I need to specify the Parent Diff, but I'm not sure what it's supposed to be. I'm probably having a similar problem when I tried using "post-review": $pwd /home/jimbo/src/git.cloud.com/3.0.x/cloudstack-oss $ post-review --tracking-branch=upstream/3.0.x --server https://reviews.apache.org There don't seem to be any diffs!
