| 25 | contain a Change-Id you have to update its commit message and insert |
| 26 | a Change-Id. |

| 29 | configured your environment so that a unique Change-Id is |

| 31 | above. Now you can rewrite the commits for which the Change-Ids are |
| 32 | missing and the Change-Ids will be automatically created and inserted |
| 33 | into the commit messages. This is explained link:error-push-fails-due-to-commit-message.html#commit_hook[here]. |
