ReceiveCommits: Add comment for special handling of HEAD branch and refs/meta/config Pushing changes for review usually requires that the target branch exists, but there is an exception for the branch to which HEAD points to and for refs/meta/config. Pushing for review to these branches is allowed even if the branch does not exist yet. This allows to push initial code for review to an empty repository and to review an initial project configuration. There are 2 code places in ReceiveCommits that implement this special handling, but only at one place it was explained by a comment.

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.
The Developer Mailing list is repo-discuss on Google Groups.
Gerrit is provided under the Apache License 2.0.
