post-receive hook to enable hiding refs/changes during replication In the gerrit master configure the replication plugin to push changes from refs/changes/ to refs/tmp/changes/: remote.NAME.push = +refs/changes/*:refs/tmp/changes/* Install this hook script as post-receive hook in replicated repositories hosted by a gerrit slave which are updated by push replication from the corresponding gerrit master. In the slave repository configure receive.hideRefs = refs/changes/ in order to not advertise the big number of refs in this namespace when replication is pushing another change. Whenever a ref arrives under refs/tmp/changes/ this git post-receive hook will move it to refs/changes/. This helps to avoid the large overhead of receive-pack advertising all refs/changes/ refs when the gerrit master pushes a pack. We observed a speedup by a factor of 10 when using this replication strategy for replication of a large repository with >400k refs across a WAN link from Germany to Canada.

Gerrit is a code review and project management tool for Git based projects.
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.
For information about how to install and use Gerrit, refer to the documentation.
Our canonical Git repository is located on googlesource.com. There is a mirror of the repository on Github.
Please report bugs on the issue tracker.
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.
The IRC channel on freenode is #gerrit. An archive is available at: echelog.com.
