Refactor: Add a new class to represent an object that can be diffed

In the change screen a user can select various objects as base for the
diff view: a regular patch set, the base of a patch set, the parent of
a merge, the auto-merge of a merge or an edit patch set. At the moment
all of these are represented by a PatchSet.Id:

* regular patch set: PatchSet.Id with id > 0
* base of a patch set: null
* the parent of a merge: PatchSet.Id with id < 0
* auto-merge of a merge: null
* edit patch set: PatchSet.Id with id == 0

This means if we only look at the patch set ID and it is null, we
don't know if it's the base of a patch set or the auto-merge of a
merge. To understand what null means, we must know if we are looking
at a merge commit, but this knowledge is not available in all classes.

This change refactors the UI classes to take a DiffObject as base
instead of a PatchSet.Id so that in future we can differentiate
between the base of a patch set and the auto-merge of a merge (see
follow-up change).

Gerrit Code Review

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

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

Gerrit is provided under the Apache License 2.0.

Build

Install Buck and run the following:

    git clone --recursive https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit
    cd gerrit && buck 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>]

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