Make RefControl package-private

This commit makes RefControl package-private by removing all references
by migrating all callers to PermissionBackend. It makes the following
non-trivial changes:

1) Decompose ref-ownership into READ_CONFIG and WRITE_CONFIG.
WRITE_CONFIG serves as the traditional isOwner() while READ_CONFIG can
be used to check if the user can read the ref config. This defaults to
READ on refs/meta/config for now but can be more specific in the future.

2) Add a new READ_PRIVATE_CHANGES permission to RefPermission to account
for canReadPrivateChanges() and isEditVisible(). This is used for
VisibleRefsFilter.

This commit leaves a TODO for the future on how to treat ref owners in
emails. As of now, we still upgrade owners to 'TO' when they are on
either 'CC' or 'BCC'. This will change in a follow-up change as it is
hard to support on top of a permission backend as it involves many
permission checks on every email sent as well as confusing as internally
we don't have a ref owner anymore.

Gerrit Code Review

Gerrit is a code review and project management tool for Git based projects.

Build Status

Objective

Gerrit makes reviews easier by showing changes in a side-by-side display, and allowing inline comments to be added by any reviewer.

Gerrit simplifies Git based project maintainership by permitting any authorized user to submit changes to the master Git repository, rather than requiring all approved changes to be merged in by hand by the project maintainer.

Documentation

For information about how to install and use Gerrit, refer to the documentation.

Source

Our canonical Git repository is located on googlesource.com. There is a mirror of the repository on Github.

Reporting bugs

Please report bugs on the issue tracker.

Contribute

Gerrit is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

Please read the contribution guidelines.

Note that we do not accept Pull Requests via the Github mirror.

Getting in contact

The IRC channel on freenode is #gerrit. An archive is available at: echelog.com.

The Developer Mailing list is repo-discuss on Google Groups.

License

Build

Install Bazel and run the following:

    git clone --recursive https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit
    cd gerrit && bazel build release

Install binary packages (Deb/Rpm)

The instruction how to configure GerritForge/BinTray repositories is here

On Debian/Ubuntu run:

    apt-get update & apt-get install gerrit=<version>-<release>

NOTE: release is a counter that starts with 1 and indicates the number of packages that have been released with the same version of the software.

On CentOS/RedHat run:

    yum clean all && yum install gerrit-<version>[-<release>]

On Fedora run:

    dnf clean all && dnf install gerrit-<version>[-<release>]

Use pre-built Gerrit images on Docker

Docker images of Gerrit are available on DockerHub

To run a CentOS 7 based Gerrit image:

    docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritforge/gerrit-centos7[:version]

To run a Ubuntu 15.04 based Gerrit image:

    docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritforge/gerrit-ubuntu15.04[:version]

NOTE: release is optional. Last released package of the version is installed if the release number is omitted.
