In ideal way I would have done topic branches from the start. Already moving out the Vagrant work was a pain in the ass, so it would mean hours or rebasing to aggregate fixes, which I'm clearly not willing to do. So I agree on presenting the history, except in this case (without gerrit) all the discussions about why something was setup one way and then changed is not in reviews and associated comments. So if I squash commits, messages explaining the reasons are lost. > Please not that I did not mean that you should squash all commits to a > single big one, just narrow them down and reorder to make it easier > for us to understand your major themes and ideas. That would probably be nice, but I'm not gonna redo all my work again, with things months behind I do not recall perfectly. So unless a decent proposition is done, well, we're stuck. With the current limitations of Gerrit (acknowledging your other reply) I see only two possibilities, none of them satisfying: - reviewing (well, accepting in fact) all the commits one by one. this is boring but history is preserved - cleaning all reviews I sent by mistake, and have just 2 commits: base layout with MM3 full, and Vagrant work I would have preferred my work being used as it is as the base repository of gerrit, or even better that this gerrit repository was created from the start (but with noone to really be able to review except myself). Now this is the hard way.
