--- Comment #7 from christ...@quelltextlich.at --- (In reply to comment #6) > Christian is already working on this Sadly ... Christian “used to be” working on this would better reflect the status quo. We had a working solution in place and updated it for some time. But upstream was a bit reluctant to review, as the overall change (~5K LOC spread into about a dozen changes, adding locking mechanism in inner parts of gerrit) is huge for the meager benefit of being able to rename projects. So it never got merged upstream. But as there are no simpler solutions in sight directly inside gerrit, and since upstream did not show interest, I stopped investing time. Even when patching our gerrit to contain those changes, maintaining them would not be fun. @Aravind, I'll gladly discuss the current patches with you. If you've got a love for Java, it might well be possible to do renaming in a plugin, if you ignore all the possible race conditions. But updating the patches that handle all the races and add the functionality directly in gerrit is probably not worth it, as I doubt that upstream would review it this time. Especially now, when they are more focused on things like the new ChangeScreen. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
