<p>I hate calling software "a mistake", but I can't find any other way to
|
||
|
|
describe Gerrit. You may see people using Gerrit 'cause Google uses it. The
|
||
|
|
thing is: Google misunderstood what Git actually is.</p>
|
||
|
|
<span id="continue-reading"></span>
|
||
|
|
<p>When Linus Torvalds came with Git, he was trying to mimic another system,
|
||
|
|
BitKeeper. Along with some improvements over CVS and SubVersion, Git made
|
||
|
|
really easy to create and merge branches, something that was either
|
||
|
|
almost-not-supported or slow-as-heck, depending on which tool you look at.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You need to take this into consideration: Git made branches easy.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Then someone came with the idea of Gerrit: Instead of managing branches, it
|
||
|
|
actually manages <em>commits</em>. Instead of having a branch for each feature, you
|
||
|
|
should have <em>one single commit</em> as feature. You can have branches on your
|
||
|
|
machine, but the server only deal with commits.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>So Gerrit took Git, a tool that improved the way we deal with branches, and
|
||
|
|
removed branches. This is akin to taking a text editor and taking away the
|
||
|
|
ability to <em>edit text</em>. Does that sound right to you?</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In my personal opinion, what they did was to take git apart and put an err in
|
||
|
|
the middle: gERRit.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When I see someone using Gerrit, I know something is wrong there.</p>
