Hi all,
since today I've been burned by this thing, i figured it's worth to send a
quick FYI so that doesn't happen to anybody else (added to the wiki page too)
if you send as review request a commit in a branch, you may want one of the
two possible behaviors:
a) your branch is ready to be merged in master, you make a review request that
when submitted will cause the merge on the remote master.
b) you want to send a patch in a feature branch that you was looking at with
somebody else, when submitted you want the patch committed in the feature
branch, that not ready for merge yet. probably a less common usecase, but
still, happens.
let's say foo is the name of your branch
if a) you do when in branch foo git push gerrit HEAD:refs/for/master
if b) you do when in branch foo git push gerrit HEAD:refs/for/foo
and please check in the gerrit web interface it says the proper branch you are
actually expecting, before pressing submit and then screaming aaaaw, shit! as
i did today ;)
Cheers,
Marco Martin
