The "Submit" button is a bit dangerous that way. For most changes you can't thoroughly review it without trying it out, which means loading it into your local workspace. For a bugzilla patch you can paste it directly into the navigator so it really can't be beat (about four keystrokes for the whole process to copy/paste the patch). Whether you use UI or command line, Gerrit is a bit more work there.


I've been meaning to write something up about this but haven't had the time. If you use the commandline there's a handy python script [1] that makes the Gerrit experience a little easier.

The gist of it is that it's a bunch of shortcuts to working with the Gerrit workflow. For example "git review -d <change#>" will pull down a change and create a local branch for it automatically. No more copy/pasting the long commands that Gerrit provides.

Maybe something similar can be integrated into Egit?
