My thoughts on the "harmfulness" of the sandbox-step in the tutorial: * The sandbox branch needs to be kept up-to-date with the master branch, everything else will avoid confusion about the (very) different code states. * The aspiring developers need to remember to switch to a different push spec -- otherwise their first actual patches will end up on the wrong branch (and will be based on way-too-old versions, see first aspect). Living without the sandbox branch: * Pushing to "refs/for/sandbox" or to "refs/for/master" both results in a new change in Gerrit. The global change counter will increase, the patch will be built, and eventually abandoned. There is no meaningful difference. * Instead, these sandbox-patches could get a commit tag of their own, e.g. "[TUTORIAL]" or "[SANDBOX]".
