Would it be possible to find a more authoritative and english reference for the ACL-patch-fork story? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.75.167.238 (talk) 13:02, 19 September 2010‎ (UTC)[reply]

I found one and replaced the other reference JnRouvignac (talk) 06:56, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The description is quite uninformative for someone not familiar with the topic. Talking about the "X started as a set of patches for Y..." part. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.32.98.169 (talk) 02:15, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The German article on Gerrit is much better in that regard. You should add a translation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.130.126.87 (talk) 13:30, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is a verbatim copy/paste from the product's About page... https://www.gerritcodereview.com/about.md 66.129.241.11 (talk) 20:33, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, this article should give more information like how it differs from other code review software and such. The history part is also very difficult to read. --HiddenKnowledge (talk) 13:34, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Gitosis and Gitolite?[edit]

The section on gitosis and gitolite is either not clear on its relationship to Gerrit, or doesn't belong here at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.239.229.58 (talk) 23:30, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Java rewrite rationale[edit]

From article: The rewrite changed the implementation from Python on Google App Engine to Java on a J2EE servlet container and a SQL database, making it easier to run Gerrit Code Review on any Linux system. Without citations. The last part "making it easier to run ..." is very subjective. I would say Python is much easier to run than Java on almost any Linux distro, so I doubt this was the actual reason for the rewrite. My guess is that most of the Android is in Java or C, and Go didn't really existed (or has no good app and web framework available yet, or popular one) as such yet, Java was selected possibly for speed, familiarity, or some other reasons (i.e. afaik Gerrit uses GWT which provides a lot of frontend automation and code generation).81.6.34.246 (talk) 06:20, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
