I am now the project manager for MediaWiki's switch to Git and Gerrit. I'm working to ensure that we hit the March 21st migration date. I am prioritizing issues and finding workarounds.
I believe the lack of arbitrary labels/tags on changes is a big workflow problem.[0] The current workaround is to use "topic branches" (Gerrit calls them topics; Git calls them branches). To do that, you have to use git-review. So if you have tried and failed to install and use git-review, please speak up ASAP so we can make our git-review instructions and workflow more robust. And can any of you help make native packages for git-review that work on Mac and Windows?[1] Thanks.
