[Localization] Dear Qt Team, what should I do if the the translation of <source> message is missing?

[Eike Ziller]

Hi,

"relation chains" are created by Gerrit automatically if you submit multiple in-progress patches at once. 

So, if you have origin/10.0 branch and create three patches on top:

- third patch
- second patch
- first patch
- origin/10.0

and then push all three of them at once to gerrit with git push gerrit HEAD:refs/for/10.0, the three patches are shown as a "relation chain" in Gerrit automatically.
Sometimes that is relevant, if the patches that you push actually depend on each other, so submitting them in arbitrary order would not work or would not be desirable.

Br, Eike
