-Gerrit plugin to automatically merge reviews
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/criteo/automerge-plugin.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/criteo/automerge-plugin)
+
+A [gerrit](https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/) plugin that takes care of
+automatically merging reviews when all approvals are present.
+
+Also, it introduces the concept of cross-repository reviews.
+Cross repository reviews are reviews that share a common topic, and are all
+in different gerrit repositories. They will be merged at the same time,
+when all approvals for all reviews are present, and all reviews are mergeable.
+
+Requires Gerrit 2.10 or later.
