 Replication of project renaming
 -------------------------------
 
-This plugin does not replicate any project renamings itself, but it triggers
-an event when a project is renamed. The [replication plugin]
-(https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/admin/projects/plugins/replication)
-is configured to listen to the event of type `PluginEvent`, which provides
-replication plugin with the required information in order to replicate the
-project rename functionality. `Rename-project` does not provide any custom
-event. Instead, it uses the existing `PluginEvent` which allows communication
-between two plugins directly.
+This plugin can replicate project renaming by itself, if `gerrit.config` has a `url` entry at the
+plugin configuration section and if master and all other replicas have this plugin installed. Once
+configured, replication of rename will start on every successful renaming of a local project. When
+the plugin completes the renaming operation on the master instance successfully, it sends an ssh
+command to replicas' rename-project plugin using the hostname provided in the configuration file.
+Replicas then perform their own local file system rename.
+
+The caveat is if ssh rename replication fails, the plugin doesn't retry the rename replication
+operation. This results in primary and replica instances being out of sync. The admin then will have
+to consider the following steps:
+
+1. Start replication on the renamed project from the primary side. For more information, see the
+[replication start command](../../replication/Documentation/cmd-start.md).
+
+2. Confirm that the renamed project was replicated.
+
+3. Delete the original (not renamed) project repository directory contents on the replica side; this
+step is optional.

+:   To perform only file system rename. This option is used for replication of

+
+Rename project replication is enabled by adding appropriate `url`'s.
+For example:
+
+```
+  [plugin "@PLUGIN@"]
+    url = ssh://admin@mirror1.us.some.org
+    url = ssh://mirror2.us.some.org:29418
+```
+
+To specify the port number, it is required to put the `ssh://` prefix followed by hostname and then
+port number after `:`. It is also possible to specify the ssh user by passing `USERNAME@` as a
+prefix for hostname.
+
+Rename replication is done over SSH, so ensure the host key of the remote system(s) is already in
+the Gerrit user's `~/.ssh/known_hosts` file. The easiest way to add the host key is to connect once
+by hand with the command line:
+
+```
+  sudo su -c 'ssh mirror1.us.some.org echo' gerrit2
+```
+
+@PLUGIN@ plugin uses the ssh rename command towards the replica(s) with `--replication` option to
+replicate the rename operation. It is possible to customize the parameters of the underlying ssh
+client doing these calls by specifying the following fields:
+
+* `sshCommandTimeout` : Timeout for SSH command execution. If 0, there is no timeout, and
+the client waits indefinitely. By default, 0.
+* `sshConnectionTimeout` : Timeout for SSH connections in minutes. If 0, there is no timeout, and
+the client waits indefinitely. By default, 2 minutes.
