moin, another one from the "could have done this much earlier" ...
everyone has a personal namespace under refs/personal/$user/ in every repository hosted on our gerrit. it's possible to create arbitrary branch hierarchies in there. note that the branches are readable by everyone, but writable only by the owner. the easiest way to access it is using the qt/qtrepotools/bin/git-ppush script (docs and examples embedded). otherwise you may need to read up on git refs. ;) this is meant primarily as a backup location for work in progress which you don't want to bother anyone with yet (i.e., being nice to those who have gerrit watches configured. also, you may want to keep your own dashboard clean). this is roughly equivalent to private clones on gitorious, except that it lives on our own gerrit. you'll notice how much this is worth when you push a rebase of a long-stale branch (i.e., lots of new upstream commits since you forked). gotcha: due to a gerrit bug, you need to amend a change you ppushed before you gpush it. similarly, it's probably a bad idea to ppush a change after gpushing it. i don't expect this to be a real problem, as amending is part of the expected workflow anyway. but just in case you wonder. have fun (and don't spam the server too much ;)! _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
