That was a bone-headed mistake on my part. I assumed I had changed my email address in my git config ages ago, and of course, I hadn't. Since I changed if *after* making the commit, the wrong name was embedded, and gerrit did not like this.
Then I followed some bad advice I found, and totally hosed my git repo, so I just started over. I've managed to submit this first patch now. Now exactly an earth shattering patch, but it feels good to finally make a contribution again after about 8 years :-P On Tue, Oct 5, 2010 at 11:24 AM, Andrew Deason <adea...@sinenomine.net>wrote: > On Tue, 5 Oct 2010 10:22:52 -0400 > Phillip Moore <w.phillip.mo...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > It's not at all clear to me how this email is used in gerrit, or what > > I have to change to correct it. > > I imagine it compares the committer field to the email addresses you > have configured associated with your ssh key.
