11 I was thinking something similar, actually, except you'd need something
12 like this:
13
14 1. dev pushes to Gerrit
15 2. Gerrit does processing
16 3. Gerrit pushes to tree, if tests pass.
17
18 It would necessitate needing a separate mechanism to be able to undo
19 changes to tree that broke things Gerrit missed, or it would necessitate
20 "undo" steps being pushed through Gerrit. Both have their disadvantages.
21
22 It might also result in only being able to push one changeset at a time,
23 due to this scenario:
24
25 1. Dev A pulls from tree
26 2. Dev A merges those changes with his local copy of tree
27 3. Dev A pushes to Gerrit
28 4. Gerrit begins tests on changeset A
29 5. Dev B pulls from tree (or perhaps he pulled earlier)
30 6. Gerrit is still testing changeset A
31 7. Dev B merges those changes with his local copy of tree
32 8. Gerrit finishes testing, pushes to tree
33 9. Dev B pushes to Gerrit
34 10. Gerrit runs tests on changeset B
35 11. Gerrit finishes tests, pushes to tree
36 13. Gerrit's push to tree fails, since tree with changeset A isn't in
37 changeset B's ancestry.
38
39 Though you might be able to get around that by using git's email
40 features to email diffs, allowing Gerrit to pipeline them (unless one
41 diff set fails to apply after another has been applied, of course).
