== DESCRIPTION
Updates the current user's approval status of the specified patch
sets and/or submits them for merging, sending out email
notifications and updating the database.

Patch sets may be specified in 'CHANGEID,PATCHSET' format, such as
'8242,2', or 'COMMIT' format.

If a patch set is specified with the 'COMMIT' format, the complete
or abbreviated commit SHA-1 may be used.  If the same commit is available
in multiple projects the `--project` option may be used to limit where
Gerrit searches for the change to only the contents of the specified project.
If the same commit is available in multiple branches the `--branch` option
may be used to limit where Gerrit searches for changes to only the specified
branch.

== EXAMPLES

Approve the change with commit c0ff33 as "Verified +1"
=====
	$ ssh -p 29418 review.example.com gerrit review --verified +1 c0ff33
=====

Vote on the project specific label "mylabel":
=====
	$ ssh -p 29418 review.example.com gerrit review --label mylabel=+1 c0ff33

Append the message "Build Successful". Notice two levels of quoting is
required, one for the local shell, and another for the argument parser
inside the Gerrit server:

=====

Mark the unmerged commits both "Verified +1" and "Code-Review +2" and
submit them for merging:
====
  $ ssh -p 29418 review.example.com gerrit review \
    --verified +1 \
    --code-review +2 \
    --submit \
    --project this/project \
    $(git rev-list origin/master..HEAD)
