Re: [wtp-dev] Question on moving code between repos

[Lars Vogel <lars.vogel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rob,

I did a similar task in the past.
I merged two repos and had the same errors with the additional committers.

First, I advise not to do it via Gerrit, as you would create a review
per commit in the past and I assume you do not want that. I pushed
directly to the repo. For the discussion, I suggest Bugzilla, if the
history is pre-served, its "only" an organizational issue.

Secondly, I had to ask webmaster to turn off validation for a
pre-defined period. We sync a time, I notified him via email that I
will now do the upload and once done, he enabled the verification
again.

HTH.

Best regards< Lars
