 | With this error message Gerrit rejects to push a commit for code | 
 | review if the remote git repository has a branch under the | 
 | 'refs/for/' namespace. | 
 |  | 
 | Gerrit uses the 'refs/for/' namespace for magical refs that represent | 
 | the review queues for branches in the git repository hosted by | 
 | Gerrit. If, for a project, a real branch is created under the | 
 | 'refs/for' namespace this conflicts with the namespace reserved for | 
 | the Gerrit review queues and Gerrit can't accept further pushes for | 
 | code review. | 
 |  | 
 | To solve this problem all real branches that exist under the | 
 | 'refs/for/' namespace have to be deleted or renamed in the remote git | 
 | repository. | 
 |  | 
 | To see which branches exist under the 'refs/for/' namespace a Gerrit | 
 | administrator can run the following command: | 
 |  | 
 | ---- | 
 |   $ git for-each-ref refs/for | 
 | ---- | 
 |  | 
 | If all these branches should be deleted it can be done with the | 
 | following command: | 
 |  | 
 | ---- | 
 |   $ for n in $(git for-each-ref --format='%(refname)' refs/for); | 
 |     do git update-ref -d $n; done | 
 | ---- | 
 |  | 
 | Branches under the 'refs/for/' namespace can be created by users that | 
 | bypass Gerrit and push directly to the git repository itself (not | 
 | using the Gerrit server's SSH port). |
