| = too many commits | 
 |  | 
 | This error occurs when a push directly to a branch | 
 | link:user-upload.html#bypass_review[bypassing review] contains more commits than | 
 | the server is able to validate in a single batch. | 
 |  | 
 | The recommended way to avoid this message is to use the | 
 | link:user-upload.html#skip_validation[`skip-validation` push option]. Depending | 
 | on the number of commits, it may also be feasible to split the push into smaller | 
 | batches. | 
 |  | 
 | The actual limit is controlled by a | 
 | link:config-gerrit.html#receive.maxBatchCommits[server config option]. |
