Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1247838

(MozReview Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Jean-Yves Avenard [:jya]]

If you run git mozreview in a sub-directory, it will fail with an error like:

jyapro:ffvpx jyavenard$ git mozreview configure
warning: will not need the "review" remote anymore;
You may remove it with `git remote remove review`.
installing commit-msg hook
Traceback (most recent call last):

actually, running git mozreview _anything_ will fail

jyapro:ffvpx jyavenard$ pwd
/Users/jyavenard/Work/Mozilla/mozilla-central/media/ffvpx
jyapro:ffvpx jyavenard$ git mozreview push
abort: configuration needed; run `git mozreview configure`
