[Qt-creator] Need help with git and gerrit

[Jochen Becher]

Hi,

I am lost with git and gerrit: The las patch set of one of my changes is
6 weeks old. I tried to upload a new patch set but failed: 

I created a new topic branch, merged all changes from the old topic
branch (which I found to chaotic after all the changes and merges I did
in the past), reset to gerrit/master, did the commit (which correctly
contained only the changes I expected) and pushed it to gerrit using the
old commit message and change id. I got the following reply:

/usr/bin/git push gerrit 4271fd4:refs/for/master
remote: Resolving deltas: 100% (228/228)        
remote: Processing changes: refs: 1, done            
The command "/usr/bin/git" terminated with exit code 1.
To ssh://gilead@codereview.qt-project.org:29418/qt-creator/qt-creator
 ! [remote rejected] 4271fd4 -> refs/for/master (you are not allowed to
upload merges)
error: Fehler beim Versenden einiger Referenzen nach
'ssh://gilead@codereview.qt-project.org:29418/qt-creator/qt-creator'


The change id is: I981e38a10fff1c1792f285d5837553aa7596cd2f.

How do I create a fresh commit from a different topic branch as a new
patch set?

Regards, Jochen
