| no new changes |
| ============== |
| |
| With this error message Gerrit rejects to push a commit if the pushed |
| commit was already successfully pushed to Gerrit. In this case there |
| is no new change and consequently there is nothing for Gerrit to do. |
| |
| If your push is failing with this error message, you normally |
| don't have to do anything since the commit was already successfully |
| pushed. Still this error message may sometimes come as a surprise if |
| you expected a new commit to be pushed. In this case you should |
| verify that: |
| |
| . your changes were successfully committed locally (otherwise there |
| is no new commit which can be pushed) |
| . you are pushing the correct commit (e.g. if you are pushing HEAD |
| make sure you have locally checked out the correct branch) |
| |
| If you are sure you are pushing the correct commit and you are still |
| getting the "no new changes" error unexpectedly you can take the |
| commit ID and search for the corresponding change in Gerrit. To do |
| this simply paste the commit ID in the Gerrit WebUI into the search |
| field. Details about how to search in Gerrit are explained link:user-search.html[here]. |
| |
| Please note that each commit can really be pushed only once. This |
| means: |
| |
| . you cannot push a commit again even if the change for which the |
| commit was pushed before was abandoned (but you may restore the |
| abandoned change) |
| . you cannot reset a change to an old patch set by pushing the old |
| commit for this change again |
| . if a commit was pushed to one branch you cannot push this commit |
| to another branch |
| . if a commit was pushed directly to a branch (without going through |
| code review) you cannot push this commit once again for code |
| review (please note that in this case searching by the commit ID |
| in the Gerrit WebUI will not find any change) |
| |
| If you need to re-push a commit you may rewrite this commit by |
| link:http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-commit.html[amending] it or doing an interactive link:http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-rebase.html[git rebase]. By rewriting the |
| commit you actually create a new commit (with a new commit ID) which |
| can then be pushed to Gerrit. If the old commit contains a Change-Id |
| in the commit message you also need to replace it with a new |
| Change-Id (case 1. and 3. above), otherwise the push will fail with |
| another error message. |
