Add a REST API to rebase a chain of changes

Motivation:
Currently, rebasing a chain of changes requires to rebase them
one-by-one, starting with the great-ancestor. This is non-atomic, so
prone to failing in the middle, leaving the user with a chain of
half-rebased commits.
This API allows
chain-rebasing by a single API call.

API:
The new call, `rebase:chain`, is similar to the `rebase` call, with the
following differences:

- The operated change is treated as the chain tip. All ancestors since
the target branch are rebased.

- Requires a linear ancestry relation (single parenting throughout the
chain).

 - Returns `ChangeInfo` list for the updated changes in the chain.
 If merging conflicts are allowed, also returns whether any of the
 changes had conflicts, and adds the conflict details to the relevant
 `ChangeInfo`s, using the same format as `RebaseChange`.

- The update is atomic. Any failure mid-chain will fail the whole call.

Technical details:

- Expand `RebaseChangeOp` to support rebasing on the current patch-set
of a change rather than on a given commit.
When fetching the last patch-set, the `updateRepo` method also checks
for pending patch sets.

- Add `RebaseChain` API which detects (and validates) the chain, then
adds `RebaseChangeOp`s to the same batch-update.

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.
