* Download commands plugin: Use commit IDs for download commands when change refs are hidden.
|
||||
+
|
||||
Git has a configuration option to hide refs from the initial advertisement
|
||||
(`uploadpack.hideRefs`). This option can be used to hide the change refs from
|
||||
the client. As consequence this prevented fetching changes by change ref from
|
||||
working.
|
||||
+
|
||||
Setting `download.checkForHiddenChangeRefs` in the `gerrit.config` to true
|
||||
allows the download commands plugin to check for hidden change refs.
