NoteDb: Avoid no-op commits when touching published comments

The implementation of ChangeUpdate eagerly creates a ChangeDraftUpdate
any time a published comment was added, for the purpose of deleting
the corresponding draft if present. NoteDbUpdateManager would happily
add and execute this ChangeDraftUpdate if it exists, even though it
was really a no-op.

This was not triggering ChangeDraftUpdate#isEmpty(), because there was
actually a key in the set of comments to delete. In fact isEmpty()
cannot actually know whether the update is empty, because it doesn't
have access to the original RevisionNotes to know whether the delete
set refers to any comments that actually exist.

Tweak the AbstractChangeUpdate interface to allow applyImpl to specify
that the update was really a no-op. Use a special sentinel return
value for this purpose; it's ugly, but restricted to the
tightly-coupled AbstractChangeUpdate hierarchy. Determine whether a
change is a no-op in ChangeDraftUpdate by checking the literal byte
array output in each of the notes.

Add regression tests to ChangeNotesTest for this case. Also add some
tests to ChangeRebuilderIT that touch this codepath, although
NoteDbChecker wouldn't actually flag the no-op commits.

Fix some bugs exposed in the ChangDraftUpdate pipeline by the new
codepaths and tests, mostly introduced by acda8b37. Use the correct
cached RevisionNoteMap object. Don't mutate comments from within
PutDraftComment, as those instances originally came from and would be
shared with the underlying ChangeNotes; make defensive copies
instead. Don't double-serialize the old version of an updated note
along with the updated version.

Gerrit Code Review

Gerrit is a code review and project management tool for Git based projects.

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 IRC channel on freenode is #gerrit. An archive is available at: echelog.com.

The Developer Mailing list is repo-discuss on Google Groups.

License

Gerrit is provided under the Apache License 2.0.

Build

Install Buck and run the following:

    git clone --recursive https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit
    cd gerrit && buck 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>]

NOTE: release is optional. Last released package of the version is installed if the release number is omitted.
