max-resultsInteger	The maximum number of results to return in this list. By default, this is 25. There is a hard limit of 200; if you need more than 200 results, you will need to make more than one request, using the “next” pagination link.

show-invisibleBoolean	Whether to list only visible repositories or all repositories. Added in 2.0
startInteger	The 0-based index of the first result in the list. The start index is usually the previous start index plus the number of previous results. By default, this is 0.

HTTP POST¶

Creates a repository.

This will create a new repository that can immediately be used for review requests.

The tool is a registered SCMTool ID. This must be known beforehand, and can be looked up in the Review Board administration UI.

Before saving the new repository, the repository will be checked for access. On success, the repository will be created and this will return HTTP 201 Created.

In the event of an access problem (authentication problems, bad/unknown SSH key, or unknown certificate), an error will be returned and the repository information won’t be updated. Pass trust_host=1 to approve bad/unknown SSH keys or certificates.
