[cross-project-issues-dev] Reminder that Sim. Rel. build input Git repo

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have had a few questions on this lately
about "why can't I push to .../gitroot/org.eclipse.simrel.build"
... and the answer is that now we've moved to use Gerrit to "push
changes". 

Basics are described in  
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Simrel/Contributing_to_Simrel_Aggregation_Build#Pushing_your_changes

and if you are new to Gerrit, you might find some of the comments in this
cross-project thread helpful. 
https://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cross-project-issues-dev/msg11859.html
(I'd like to turn that into a FAQ someday
... lots of good info in that complete thread, including alternative approaches,
etc.). 

And, before "new to Gerrit" people
panic, this does not mean you *have* to use Gerrit Review to get your changes
in, but, you do need to change your "push URL". 
master-->master still goes "straight
to Git repo". 
master-->refs/for/master goes to Gerrit
for "test build" and Review and must be explicitly "submitted"
to get merged to the master branch. 

Thanks,
