Something similar to what you have in gerrit with https://review.openstack.org/#/c/22708/ for example where you can see and compare the patch sets. > > Well, blarney.

It's fairly frustrating when reviewing large branches. What I've resorted to is doing reviews in gitk on a patch-by-patch basis and then going and finding the line in the rolled-up diff. That does work, but it's really awkward, especially when the full patch set includes changes that don't fix an issue but do obscure its origin. I would love a more robust review system but the more I hear about Gerrit the less it sounds like I could stand that either. :/ -Greg Software Engineer #42 @ http://inktank.com | http://ceph.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
