Applies optimizations to diff comment DOM attachment

A source of latency when creating diff comments in large diffs is the
work needed to reflow the diff DOM to make room for the new comment.
This is particularly evident when adding comments to new files because
the diff is built as an addition group representing the entire file, so
the comment causes a reflow on every subsequent line.

This change optimizes this process in three ways.

* **Limit the size of ADD & REMOVE groups:** The diff processor will now
  break an add or a remove chunk into a series of smaller chunks of the
  same kind. This is controlled by the MAX_GROUP_SIZE constant. In this
  way the number of nodes that need to be reflowed when a comment is
  added to an add or remove group is limited to the number of subsequent
  lines in that group plus the subsequent number of groups.
* **GPU optimize group in general:** Adds CSS properties to diff TBODY
  elements (which correspond to groups, for the most part) that trigger
  GPU acceleration when available.
* **Apply `table-layout: fixed;`** This style speeds up table reflow in
  general.

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.
