Hello,
Some people have reported that since the new version of git-review the
had issue submitting patches. The symptom is:
<someone hack>
<attempt to send the work by using `git-review`>
Complaint:
You have more than one commit that you are about to submit.
The oustanding commits are:
<some changes you never did :-]>
The issue is because your last commit has been done based on a remote
named 'origin' whereas git-review use the remote named 'gerrit'. Since
most people update only the origin remote with git pull, the gerrit
remote is lagging behind. So technically, git-review attempt to submit
any commit between origin/master and gerrit/master hence the long message.
There are three ways to fix it:
1) always update all remotes by using either:
- git fetch --all
- git remote update
Side effect: you have to remember to use those commands instead of 'git
fetch' or 'git pull origin'.
2) delete the remote named 'origin':
- git remote rm origin
Side effect: 'git pull origin' does not work anymore :-) You need to
use 'git pull gerrit'.
3) Tell .gitreview to use 'origin' by adding the following line:
defaultremote=origin
Make sure you have a remote named origin, if not rename the one named
gerrit :D
Side effect: I can not think of any.
I use (2) aka a remote named 'gerrit'.
I recommend (3) make git-review use 'origin' and I think we should
modify our .gitreview file to add that line. That will avoid confusion.
cheers,
