AccessSection.getPermissions: Return defensive copy of list

If AccessSection directly returns its modifyable list, callers can
modify the list outside of AccessSection. This is bad because this way
it is possible to violate assumptions of the AccessSection class. E.g.
AccessSection makes sure that the permission list cannot contain
duplicate permissions. Having duplicate permissions in the permission
list can lead to severe problems. E.g. duplicate permissions on an
access section of the All-Projects project make the permissions of the
All-Project project unreadable and Gerrit effectively stops working.
This is because ProjectState#getLocalAccessSections() filters out some
permissions on the All-Projects project by getting the list of
permissions from AccessSection and setting the filtered list back on
AccessSection. If the list that was retrieved from AccessSection
contained duplicate permissions, setting back the list failed with
IllegalArgumentException since
AccessSection#setPermissions(List<Permission>) doesn't allow duplicate
permissions.

A similar issue was already fixed by change I5222cd9174 and change
Ief24c6e82f.

Ideally we would return an ImmutableList from
AccessSection.getPermissions() but we cannot use ImmutableList in
classes that are used by the GWT UI.

Gerrit Code Review

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

Build Status

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 Bazel and run the following:

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

On Fedora run:

    dnf clean all && dnf install gerrit-<version>[-<release>]

Use pre-built Gerrit images on Docker

Docker images of Gerrit are available on DockerHub

To run a CentOS 7 based Gerrit image:

    docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritforge/gerrit-centos7[:version]

To run a Ubuntu 15.04 based Gerrit image:

    docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritforge/gerrit-ubuntu15.04[:version]

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