+If you prefer to use a web user interface for code reviews, you can now submit
+your patches for Clang and LLVM at `LLVM's Phabricator`_ instance.
+
+While Phabricator is a useful tool for some, the relevant -commits mailing list
+is the system of record for all LLVM code review. The mailing list should be
+added as a subscriber on all reviews, and Phabricator users should be prepared
+to respond to free-form comments in mail sent to the commits list.
Sign up
-------
-There are two options to get an account on Phabricator. You can sign up
-immediately with one of the supported OAuth account types if you're comfortable
-with OAuth, but you can also email chandlerc@gmail.com to request an account to
-be created manually without using OAuth. We're working to get support in
-Phabricator to directly create new accounts, but currently this is a manual
-process.
+To get started with Phabricator, navigate to `http://reviews.llvm.org`_ and
+click the power icon in the top right. You can register with a GitHub account,
+a Google account, or you can create your own profile.
+
+Make *sure* that the email address registered with Phabricator is subscribed
+to the relevant -commits mailing list. If your are not subscribed to the commit
+list, all mail sent by Phabricator on your behalf will be held for moderation.
Note that if you use your Subversion user name as Phabricator user name,
Phabricator will automatically connect your submits to your Phabricator user in
the `Code Repository Browser`_.

Requesting a review via the command line
----------------------------------------
To get a full diff, use one of the following commands (or just use Arcanist
to upload your patch):
-* git diff -U999999 other-branch
-* svn diff --diff-cmd=diff -x -U999999
+* ``git diff -U999999 other-branch``
+* ``svn diff --diff-cmd=diff -x -U999999``
To upload a new patch:
* Click *Differential*.
-* Click *Create Revision*.
+* Click *Create Diff*.
* Paste the text diff or upload the patch file.
Note that TODO
* Leave the drop down on *Create a new Revision...* and click *Continue*.
To submit an updated patch:
* Click *Differential*.
-* Click *Create Revision*.
+* Click *Create Diff*.
* Paste the updated diff.
* Select the review you want to from the *Attach To* dropdown and click
*Continue*.
*Revision Update History*. Most features are self descriptive - explore, and
if you have a question, drop by on #llvm in IRC to get help.
+Note that as e-mail is the system of reference for code reviews, and some
+people prefer it over a web interface, we do not generate automated mail
+when a review changes state, for example by clicking "Accept Revision" in
+the web interface. Thus, please type LGTM into the comment box to accept
+a change from Phabricator.
+
+Committing a change
+-------------------
+
+Arcanist can manage the commit transparently. It will retrieve the description,
+reviewers, the ``Differential Revision``, etc from the review and commit it to the repository.
+
+::
+
+ arc patch D<Revision>
+ arc commit --revision D<Revision>
+
+
+When committing an LLVM change that has been reviewed using
+Phabricator, the convention is for the commit message to end with the
+line:
+
+::
+
+ Differential Revision: <URL>
+
+where ``<URL>`` is the URL for the code review, starting with
+``http://reviews.llvm.org/``.
+
+Note that Arcanist will add this automatically.
+
+This allows people reading the version history to see the review for
+context. This also allows Phabricator to detect the commit, close the
+review, and add a link from the review to the commit.
