             Bug #: 41074
           Summary: report trivial rebases in Gerrit
           Product: Wikimedia
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All

We are often rebasing changes with no real modification. For example when
correcting a typo in a commit message or child changes being automatically
rebased when one of their ancestor as been altered.

OpenStack is using a python script that detect such trivial rebase and will
send a comment to each changes mentioning it. That might help us a bit when
doing code review.

The python script is at:

https://github.com/openstack/openstack-ci-puppet/blob/master/modules/openstack_project/files/gerrit/scripts/trivial_rebase.py

Can be installed in /var/lib/gerrit/scripts/  and added to the patchset-created
hook script:


timeout -k 2m 10m python /usr/local/gerrit/scripts/trivial_rebase.py \
    patchset-created \
    --whitespace \
    --private-key-path=<SSH HOST KEY OF TRIVIAL USER> \
    [email protected] "$@"

Example output somewhere in comments of https://review.openstack.org/#/c/12324/

Trivial Rebase        Oct 8
Patch Set 5:
New patchset patch-id matches previous patchset, but whitespace content has
changed.
