Huh?! What is that for? it makes no sense for me to simultaneously
submit to gerrit and to push directly to master (and thus bypass gerrit).
Think about it: if your patch is going to be rejected or must be
adjusted what is going on with your changes that already in master?
Note 1: we are going to turn on the automatic patch verification
machinery (build + test). What is if your patch doesn't even compile,
introduces WaE, beaks unit tests?

It patches *.src files, our resource compiler builds these, so I am 100% sure the patch doesn't break anything.
And I am quite sure it wont be rejected...

Since the gerrit team seems to be struck in the philosophical
question if a change is still the same on a different branch,

:)

But, as you pointed out gerrit can not handle it currently anyway (*),
why not to follow this simple workflow:

*Either* to push the patch directly to the master and send a mail to ML
with cgit link and ask for review -- my i add not recommended here? ;-) --,
*or* to submit it only to gerrit (master or specific branch), wait for
verification and once approved and merged,
push it to all other branches

It is inconsistent, I mean if master is free-pushable (the only requirement is: no build breaks), it must remain so, regardless of the workflow a whimmy developer decided to use at the moment.

Regards,
Ivan
