the project repository.

Event output is in JSON, one event per line.

or have been granted
link:access-control.html#capability_streamEvents[the 'Stream Events' global capability].

SCHEMA
------
The JSON messages consist of nested objects referencing the *change*,
*patchSet*, *account* involved, and other attributes as appropriate.
The currently supported message types are *patchset-created*,
*draft-published*, *change-abandoned*, *change-restored*,
*change-merged*, *merge-failed*, *comment-added*, *ref-updated* and
*reviewer-added*.

Note that any field may be missing in the JSON messages, so consumers of
this JSON stream should deal with that appropriately.
