TeamForge–Git integration 17.1.5-2.13.5 release notes

Highlights

Based on Gerrit 2.13.5 vanilla Gerrit version: 2.13.5-112-g3729b3b

• Major Gerrit upgrade to Gerrit 2.13.5
• Major installer rework as a result of TeamForge 17.1 installer changes:
  • Revamp the install process to ensure minimal manual intervention and make the overall install process shorter and less error prone.
  • Gerrit install/upgrade is performed during TeamForge provision phase and post-install step is no longer required.
  • Running offline re-indexing during upgrade is performed only if absolutely required. Special weightage added to online re-indexing which happens automatically after Gerrit starts up. This means little or no site downtime, which otherwise would be required for re-indexing during upgrade.
• Git LFS improvements: Allow Git LFS to authenticate via SSH: additional checkout URL parameter (lfs.url) is no longer needed for master Gerrit instance (corresponding TeamForge UI has been adjusted). Note that it is still needed for replica servers.
• Continue work on improving user experience by:
  • Preloading existing categories when repository is created/modified so that user can conveniently select them and this is not prone to typing errors any longer.
  • Incorporating navigation back to TeamForge UI from Gerrit Review’s UI (Browse) links.

Bug fixes

• Fix using DOMAIN_ site options token for Git Integration creation and Gerrit URLsetting
