Re: [egit-dev] Cherry-pick & Gerrit Change-ID

Hey!

How should the gerrit change-id generation in egit behave when cherry-picking a commit to another branch? I observed:

 * when there is no conflict, the same id is used
 * when there is a conflict and i have to use the commit dialog, a new id is generated

is this intention? or should i report a bug?

this looks inconsistent and is probably caused by the fact that

change-id generation is a feature of the commit dialog which isn't

used when cherry-pick succeeds without conflicts.

Though I am not sure what's the correct behavior as AFAIK Gerrit behavior

changed from 2.1.x to 2.2. I think Gerrit 2.1.x rejects pushing changes with

the same change-id to multiple branches whereas Gerrit 2.2 now

can handle that. 

@Sasa: am I right here ? Any hints ?
