I reckon Gerrit is configured to reject commits that are not properly signed off: https://gerrit-documentation.storage.googleapis.com/Documentation/2.8.1/error-not-signed-off-by.html I think any cherry-pick commit you make is essentially a new commit which just happens to have similar contents to the commit you are cherry-picking. Hence, the sign-off is invalid, and the commit will have to be re-signed in order for it to be accepted. So, you either have to sign it off yourself, or remove the Signed-off-by line from the commit message. OR you just force your way past Gerrit's policy here according to said documentation. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
