The main advantages for a reviewer: * I don't have to look at stuff that doesn't compile * I don't have to see if I need to download the mbox or the patch * I can easily submit the resulting change In fact reviewing has been more pleasant for me than before (besides the pain of having to wrangle with Java and doing a FreeBSD port of buck to build and debug it) > > I submit to the community's decision to use gerrit, and I don't think it would > be worth the trouble to switch yet again (if I'm the only one moaning), but I > wouldn't introduce gerrit a second time. For patch-series: Either way, sending a 40 patches en-block is not well received. This wouldn't be any better with git dump-email. ;) > End-Of-Rant for all eternity ;) Besides the smiley I think you could have been more constructive, e.g you have admin rights and shell access to the system and I have already pointed you to the "Submit Type" in the project settings. Did you have a look at it to see if for your workflow we are using the wrong "type"? In osmo-sip-connector.git I changed from cherry-oick to always merge (probably fast-forward is closer to what we want in our change history) and pushed two changes. The last patch can be seen here https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/127/1. It shows "Related changes" for both of them and for the second (and probably third) it has "Submitted Together" that shows my entire "series". After +2/+1 on them I have a button called "Submit including parents". Is this closer to what you want? I have picked "Cherry Pick" as many times there is a patch series but only a few commits are actually ready to be merged. To reduce work it seemed good to accept the raisins more quickly. cheers holger
