Is it possible to add patch sets to a Gerrit review without ammending/squashing commits

Question

A simple example. I commit a change to Gerrit, which breaks the CI build or a reviewer is not satisfied. I then fix my change with another commit. In many cases this is small patch set for which I do not want a new gerrit review but rather as a new patch set in the original review.

I know this can be achived using ammend or rebasing and squashin.

Is this the only options? We are a little bit concerned about having to rewrite history using rebasing and squashing.

Thanks,

Giao.

Answer 1

git commit --amend works pretty well; that how we do it most of the time.

This has been discussed on the gerrit mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/repo-discuss/browse_thread/thread/fc4246f02b77aa9a
