Hi,
There's something in Gerrit that i still don't get, even after trying
to ask this several times on
mediawiki.org [1] and on IRC. I sincerely
thank everyone who took the time to reply, but either i still
misunderstand the replies or i do understand them and I Just Don't
Like It [2].
Let's consider a patch set i submitted:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#change,3361 .
The patch set as i submitted it was not perfect and Aaron marked it
"-1". So far, so good. Then Hashar amended the patch set and
Nikerabbit amended it some more.
... Now that i look at that patch again, i realize that there were no
code changes by Nikerabbit - only inline code comments. That confusion
was probably caused by Gerrit's UI, with which many people already
expressed dissatisfaction, but that's a separate issue.
My main claim still applies - it would make more sense to see every
stage in the development of this patch as a separate commit. I tried
to play with the "Old Version History" dropdown, which looked like it
can help making it easier, but it only added more confusion.
