[coreboot] Re: Reconsidering the Gerrit submission strategy

[Felix Held]

Hi,

I reread the documentation and the thing I missed in there is that 
Gerrit will only automatically rebase a patch when submitting when none 
of the files it changed have been changed between the parent commit of 
the to be submitted patch and the current top of tree. At least this 
explains the difficulties I ran into so far; I was expecting Gerrit to 
always try a rebase and only require a manual rebase when there is a 
conflict it can't resolve on its own like it was the case before. This 
makes both treewide changes and submitting patch trains patch by patch 
more difficult.

Regards,
Felix
