Allow posting the same vote on a new patchset

Currently, we don't allow adding a new vote if the exact vote already
exists. This is a reasonable behavior for voting again on the same
patchset, but it is strange across multiple patchsets, example:

1. User votes +2 on Code-Review.
2. Change owner creates a new patchset, and the vote is carried over.
3. User wants to vote +2 again, but can't, as the user already voted.

This should also be fixed in the frontend, as the frontend doesn't allow
clicking "send" at all if there are no changes (and the vote +2 was
carried over).

This bug fix is a blocker for a follow-up feature that would add a
message and new content to the "submitted" email, such that users will
know the diff between the latest approved patchset and the submitted
patchset in case of sticky votes. We allow revoting on a label such that
the "latest approved patchset" will be up to date.

It's better to allow voting on the label even multiple times on the same
patch-set, as this is more correct to adjust the timestamp of the vote
when voting again. This has some side effects:
1. Change message will be posted that the user voted.
2. Email may be different (mentioning the vote as opposed to not
mentioning the vote).
3. Events will fire with the vote (as opposed to fire without the vote).

All of those side effects are okay.

Gerrit Code Review

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

Build Status Maven Central

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 Developer Mailing list is repo-discuss on Google Groups.

License

Gerrit is provided under the Apache License 2.0.

Build

Install Bazel and run the following:

    git clone --recurse-submodules 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 8 based Gerrit image:

    docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritcodereview/gerrit[:version]-centos8

To run a Ubuntu 20.04 based Gerrit image:

    docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritcodereview/gerrit[:version]-ubuntu20

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