[GoogleCodeExporter]

http://demo.review-board.org/r/new/

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Repo- Navi, Base path- empty, Diff- path to some diff.
2. Click create review request.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to see error message and still have diff path filled in.
Instead both boxes are empty (and I get the error message).

What operating system are you using? What browser?
Linux, Firefox 3.

This is an RFE more than a defect. I don't see how to change the type though.

Sadly, Google Code doesn't let users set the type of report (yet).

I'd say it is more of a bug though. We should be able to fix it without too 
much trouble.

Marking this as a 1.0 fix, but we can push back to 1.5 if we need to.

On the web server side, do we have the path on the user's disk? I didn't think 
so,
which makes this hard to do.

Looking through the documentation, we don't have the full path, only the 
filename.
This is reasonable, given the security/privacy implications here.

Unfortunately, this means we can't fix this.
