   The change could not be rebased due to a path conflict during merge.
 ----
 
+Rebasing a change is allowed for the change owner, users with the
+link:access-control.html#category_rebase[Rebase] permission and users
+with the link:access-control.html#category_submit[Submit] permission.
+
+In addition, the rebaser or the original uploader, if rebasing is done
+on behalf of the uploader (see `rebase_on_behalf_of_uploader` option in
+link:#rebase-input[RebaseInput]), needs to have all permissions that
+are required to create the new patch set:
+
+* the link:access-control.html#category_push[Push] permission
+* the link:access-control.html#category_add_patch_set[Add Patch Set]
+  permission (only if the user is not the change owner)
+* the link:access-control.html#category_forge_author[Forge Author]
+  permission (only if the commit author is forged)
+* the link:access-control.html#category_forge_server[Forge Server]
+  permission (only if the commit author is the server identity)
+
+The same permissions were required for the upload of the original patch
+set. This means if the rebase is done on behalf of the uploader these
+permission checks should just pass, unless the uploader lost
+permissions after the upload of the original patch set. In this case
+rebasing on behalf of the uploader is not possible and a normal rebase
+(on behalf of the rebaser) must be done, which means that the rebaser
+becomes the uploader and takes over the change. If self approvals are
+disallowed, this means that the rebaser can no longer approve the
+change (as approvals of the uploader are ignored).

+
+Rebases an ancestry chain of changes.
+
+The operated change is treated as the chain tip. All unsubmitted ancestors are rebased.
+
+Requires a linear ancestry relation (single parenting throughout the chain).
+
+Optionally, the parent revision (of the oldest ancestor to be rebased) can be changed to another
+change, revision or branch through the link:#rebase-input[RebaseInput] entity.
+
+If the chain is outdated, i.e., there's a change that depends on an old revision of its parent, the
+result is the same as individually rebasing all outdated changes on top of their parent's latest
+revision before running the rebase chain action.

+NAME
+    git-gc-preserve - Run git gc and preserve old packs to avoid races for JGit
+
+SYNOPSIS
+    git gc-preserve
+
+DESCRIPTION
+    Runs git gc and can preserve old packs to avoid races with concurrently
+    executed commands in JGit.
+
+    This command uses custom git config options to configure if preserved packs
+    from the last run of git gc should be pruned and if packs should be preserved.
+
+    This is similar to the implementation in JGit [1] which is used by
+    JGit to avoid errors [2] in such situations.
+
+    The command prevents concurrent runs of the command on the same repository
+    by acquiring an exclusive file lock on the file
+      "\$repopath/gc-preserve.pid"
+    If it cannot acquire the lock it fails immediately with exit code 3.
+
+    Failure Exit Codes
+        1: General failure
+        2: Couldn't determine repository path. If the current working directory
+           is outside of the working tree of the git repository use git option
+           --git-dir to pass the root path of the repository.
+           E.g.
+              $ git --git-dir ~/git/foo gc-preserve
+        3: Another process already runs $0 on the same repository
+
+    [1] https://git.eclipse.org/r/c/jgit/jgit/+/87969
+    [2] https://git.eclipse.org/r/c/jgit/jgit/+/122288
+
+CONFIGURATION
+    "pack.prunepreserved": if set to "true" preserved packs from the last gc run
+      are pruned before current packs are preserved.
+
+    "pack.preserveoldpacks": if set to "true" current packs will be hard linked
+      to objects/pack/preserved before git gc is executed. JGit will
+      fallback to the preserved packs in this directory in case it comes
+      across missing objects which might be caused by a concurrent run of
+      git gc.

+   * Checks that the uploader has permissions to create a new patch set and creates a new {@link
+   * RevisionResource} that contains the uploader (aka the impersonated user) as the current user
+   * which can be used for {@link BatchUpdate} to do the rebase on behalf of the uploader.
+   *
+   * <p>The following permissions are required for the uploader:
+   *
+   * <ul>
+   *   <li>The {@code Read} permission that allows to see the change.
+   *   <li>The {@code Push} permission that allows upload.
+   *   <li>The {@code Add Patch Set} permission, required if the change is owned by another user
+   *       (change owners implicitly have this permission).
+   *   <li>The {@code Forge Author} permission if the patch set that is rebased has a forged author
+   *       (author != uploader).
+   *   <li>The {@code Forge Server} permission if the patch set that is rebased has the server
+   *       identity as the author.
+   * </ul>
+   *
+   * <p>Usually the uploader should have all these permission since they were already required for
+   * the original upload, but there is the edge case that the uploader had the permission when doing
+   * the original upload and then the permission was revoked.
+   *
+   * <p>Note that patch sets with a forged committer (committer != uploader) can be rebased on
+   * behalf of the uploader, even if the uploader doesn't have the {@code Forge Committer}
+   * permission. This is because on rebase on behalf of the uploader the uploader will become the
+   * committer of the new rebased patch set, hence for the rebased patch set the committer is no
+   * longer forged (committer == uploader) and hence the {@code Forge Committer} permission is not
+   * required.
+   *
+   * <p>Note that the {@code Rebase} permission is not required for the uploader since the {@code
+   * Rebase} permission is specifically about allowing a user to do a rebase via the web UI by
+   * clicking on the {@code REBASE} button and the uploader is not clicking on this button.
+   *
+   * <p>The permissions of the uploader are checked explicitly here so that we can return a {@code
+   * 409 Conflict} response with a proper error message if they are missing (the error message says
+   * that the permission is missing for the uploader). The normal code path also checks these
+   * permission but the exception thrown there would result in a {@code 403 Forbidden} response and
+   * the error message would wrongly look like the caller (i.e. the rebaser) is missing the
+   * permission.
+   *
+   * <p>Note that this method doesn't check permissions for the rebaser (aka the impersonating user
+   * aka the calling user). Callers should check the permissions for the rebaser before calling this
+   * method.

+/**
+ * A class with logic for migrating existing label functions to submit requirements and resetting
+ * the label functions to {@link LabelFunction#NO_BLOCK}.
+ *
+ * <p>Important note: Callers should do this migration only if this gerrit installation has no
+ * Prolog submit rules (i.e. no rules.pl file in refs/meta/config). Otherwise, the newly created
+ * submit requirements might not behave as intended.
+ *
+ * <p>The conversion is done as follows:
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>MaxWithBlock is translated to submittableIf = label:$lbl=MAX AND -label:$lbl=MIN
+ *   <li>MaxNoBlock is translated to submittableIf = label:$lbl=MAX
+ *   <li>AnyWithBlock is translated to submittableIf = -label:$lbl=MIN
+ *   <li>NoBlock/NoOp are translated to applicableIf = is:false (not applicable)
+ *   <li>PatchSetLock labels are left as is
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * If the label has {@link LabelType#isIgnoreSelfApproval()}, the max vote is appended with the
+ * 'user=non_uploader' argument.
+ *
+ * <p>For labels that were skipped, i.e. had only one "zero" predefined value, the migrator creates
+ * a non-applicable submit-requirement for them. This is done so that if a parent project had a
+ * submit-requirement with the same name, then it's not inherited by this project.
+ *
+ * <p>If there is an existing label and there exists a "submit requirement" with the same name, the
+ * migrator checks if the submit-requirement to be created matches the one in project.config. If
+ * they don't match, a warning message is printed, otherwise nothing happens. In either cases, the
+ * existing submit-requirement is not altered.

+ * any verification of these inputs. This means it's possible to provide inputs that are
+ * inconsistent with the approval copying logic in {@link ApprovalCopier}. E.g. it's possible to
+ * provide "is:MAX" as a passing atom for a "Code-Review-1" vote and have "is:MAX" highlighted as
+ * passing in the message although the "Code-Review-1" vote doesn't match with "is:MAX". For easier
+ * readability the formatting tests avoid using such inconsistent input data, but it's not
+ * impossible that in some cases we made a mistake and the input data is inconsistent.

-If a class is a custom HTML/Polymer element, the class must assign all required services in the constructor.
-A browser creates instances of such classes implicitly, so it is impossible to pass anything as a parameter to
-the element's class constructor.
-
-Do not use appContext anywhere except the constructor of the class.
-
-**Note for legacy elements:** If a polymer element extends a LegacyElementMixin and overrides the `created()` method,

-method is [deprecated](https://polymer-library.polymer-project.org/2.0/docs/about_20#lifecycle-changes) and is called
-when a super (i.e. base) class constructor is called. If you are unsure about moving the code from the `created` method
-to the class constructor, consult with the source code:

+Modern IDEs should automatically handle typescript settings from the

+## Developing locally
 
-#### Web Dev Server
+The preferred method for development is to serve the web files locally using the
+Web Dev Server and then view a running gerrit instance (local or otherwise) to
+replace its web client with the local one using the Gerrit FE Dev Helper
+extension.
 
-To test the local frontend against production data or a local test site execute:
+### Web Dev Server
+
+The [Web Dev Server](https://modern-web.dev/docs/dev-server/overview/) serves
+the compiled web files and dependencies unbundled over localhost. Start it using
+this command:
 
 ```sh
 yarn start
 ```
 
-This command starts the [Web Dev Server](https://modern-web.dev/docs/dev-server/overview/).
 To inject plugins or other files, we use the [Gerrit FE Dev Helper](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gerrit-fe-dev-helper/jimgomcnodkialnpmienbomamgomglkd) Chrome extension.

 ## Running Tests
 
 For daily development you typically only want to run and debug individual tests.
-There are several ways to run tests.
+Our tests run using the
+[Web Test Runner](https://modern-web.dev/docs/test-runner/overview/). There are
+several ways to trigger tests:
 
-* Run all tests:
+* Run all tests once:
 ```sh
 yarn test
 ```
 
-* Run all tests under bazel:
+* Run all tests and then watches for changes. Change a file will trigger all
+tests affected by the changes.
+```sh
+yarn test:watch
+```
+
+* Run all tests once under bazel:
 ```sh
 ./polygerrit-ui/app/run_test.sh
 ```
 
-* Run a single test file:
+* Run a single test file and rerun on any changes affecting it:
 ```
-yarn test:single "**/async-foreach-behavior_test.js"
+yarn test:single "**/gr-comment_test.ts"
 ```
 
 Compiling code:
 ```sh
 # Compile frontend once to check for type errors:
-yarn compile:local
+yarn compile
 
 # Watch mode:
-## Terminal 1:
 yarn compile:watch
-## Terminal 2, test & watch a file for example:
-yarn test:single "**/async-foreach-behavior_test.js"
 ```
 
-### Generated file overview
-
-A generated file starts with imports followed by a static content with
-different type definitions. You can skip this part - it doesn't contains
-anything usefule.
-
-After the static content there is a class definition. Example:
-```typescript
-export class GrCreateGroupDialogCheck extends GrCreateGroupDialog {
-  templateCheck() {
-    // Converted template
-    // Each HTML element from the template is wrapped into own block.
-  }
-}
-```
-
-The converted template usually quite straightforward, but in some cases
-additional functions are added. For example, `<element x=[[y.a]]>` converts into
-`el.x = y!.a` if y is a simple type. However, if y has a union type, like - `y:A|B`,
-then the generated code looks like `el.x=__f(y)!.a` (`y!.a` may result in a TS error
-if `a` is defined only in one type of a union).
-

-# Functional test suite
-
-## Installing Docker (OSX)
-
-Simplest way to install all of those is to use Homebrew:
-
-```
-brew cask install docker
-```
-
-This will install a Docker in Applications. To run if from the command-line:
-
-```
-open /Applications/Docker.app
-```
-
-It'll require privileged access and will require user password to be entered.
-
-To validate Docker is installed correctly, run hello-world image:
-
-```
-docker run hello-world
-```
-
-## Building a Docker image
-
-Should be done once only for development purposes, run from the Gerrit checkout
-path:
-
-```
-docker build -t gerrit/polygerrit-functional:v1 \
-  polygerrit-ui/app/test/functional/infra
-```
-
-## Running a smoke test
-
-Running a smoke test from Gerrit checkout path:
-
-```
-./polygerrit-ui/app/test/functional/run_functional.sh
-```
-
-The successful output should be something similar to this:
-
-```
-Starting local server..
-Starting Webdriver..
-Started
-.
-
-
-1 spec, 0 failures
-Finished in 2.565 seconds

+# Overview
+
+**Raw html substitution will no longer be an option for comment links.**
+
+The raw-html option for commentlink sections is deprecated and removed.
+Example:
+
+```
+[commentlink "issue b/"]
+  match = (^|\\s)b/(\\d+)
+  html = $1<a href=\"http://b/issue?id=$2&query=$2\" target=\"_blank\">b/$2</a>
+```
+
+Before it allowed to find and replace text matches in commit messages and
+comments with arbitrary html. When misconfigured this has in the past enabled
+injecting undesired html code and XSS attacks by writing a comment.
+
+Even though the sanitization of the resulting html has improved. This feature is
+more powerful than needed. In almost all cases across host configurations html
+is only used to either configure text of the link, or limit the link to wrap
+only a portion of the matched text.
+
+To fill the gap in functionality from deprecating the option additional optional
+parameters (prefix, suffix and text) have been added. They allow to generate
+links that look like:
+```
+  PREFIX<a href="LINK">TEXT</a>SUFFIX
+```
+With substitution being strictly plaintext and all html escaped.
+
+The comment link section in project configs (in refs/meta/config) never
+supported the raw-html option and don't need to be updated.
+
+# Config migration command
+
+```
+CONFIG_FILE=<path to gerrit.config file>
+perl -0pe 's/([ \t]*)html\s*=\s*\"(.*)<a.* href=(?:\\\"(\S+)\\\"|(\S+)(?=\s|>))(?: .*)?>(.*)<\/a>(.*)(?<!\\)\"/$1link = \"$3$4\"\n$1prefix = \"$2\"\n$1text = \"$5\"\n$1suffix = \"$6\"/g' $CONFIG_FILE |
+perl -0pe 's/([ \t]*)html\s*=\s*(\S.*)?<a.* href=(?:\\\"(\S+)\\\"|(\S+)(?=\s|>))(?: .*)?>(.*)<\/a>(.*\S)?/$1link = \"$3$4\"\n$1prefix = \"$2\"\n$1text = \"$5\"\n$1suffix = \"$6\"/g' |
+perl -ne 'print if !/\s*(prefix|suffix|text)\s*=\s*\"\"/'
+```
+
+The command does 3 simple string replace passes:
+
+1. Replace `html=<value>` with quote-escaped value.
+2. Replace `html=<value>` with value without quotes.
+3. Remove empty `prefix`, `suffix`, `text` fields.
