| 4 | With this error message Gerrit rejects to push a commit to a project |
| 5 | which is configured to always require a Change-Id in the commit |
| 6 | message if the commit message of the pushed commit does not contain |
| 7 | a subject and a message, but only a Change-Id. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | This error happens if the Change-Id is the only line in the commit |
| 10 | message. |

| 15 | == Change-Id is the only line in the commit message |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Gerrit does not parse the subject of a commit message for the |
| 18 | Change-Id even if this is the only and last paragraph of the commit |
| 19 | message. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | If the Change-Id is the only line in the commit message you must update |
| 22 | the commit message and insert a subject as the first line in the commit |
| 23 | message. The Change-Id must be in the last paragraph of the commit |
| 24 | message, i.e. separated from the subject by a blank line. How to update |
| 25 | the commit message is explained |
