The refs/notes/review namespace
===============================
Summary
-------
`refs/notes/review` is a special reference that Gerrit creates on repositories
to store information about code reviews.
When a repository is cloned from Gerrit, the `refs/notes/review` reference is
not included by default. It has to be manually fetched:
====
$ git fetch origin refs/notes/review:refs/notes/review
====
It is also possible to
link:http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-config.html[configure git]
to always fetch `refs/notes/review`:
====
$ git config --add remote.origin.fetch refs/notes/review:refs/notes/review
$ git fetch
====
When `refs/notes/review` is fetched on a repository, the Gerrit review
information can be included in the git log output:
====
$ git log --show-notes=review
====

For each commit, Gerrit stores the following review information in
