Mike, We could test run gerrit, once our basic git repo is set up. I would also like to try using the pull request mechanism as the author credit will never go away how much ever branch/merge is done. Until anything is finalized, we should use the current setup - then add in Gerrit/pull request mechanism - one issue with pull requests is that it does not give a side-by-side view, of current v/s proposed code, which might be painful for large codebases.
