Extend the PostReview REST endpoint to support posting of robot comments. For this ReviewInput got a new field that can contain a list of robot comments. For reading robot comments new REST endpoints have been added. Robot comments are only supported with NoteDb, but not with ReviewDb. Robot comments are always stored as JSON, even if notedb.writeJson is set to false. In NoteDb robot comments are not stored in the change meta ref but in a separate refs/changes/XX/YYYY/robot-comments ref. By storing robot comments in a separate ref we can delete robot comments without rewriting the history of the change meta branch which is needed for auditing and hence cannot be rewritten. Deletion of robot comments is not implemented in this change, but we may want to support this later as the amount and size of robot comments can be large. Draft robot comments are not supported, but robot comments are always published comments. Change-Id: I2d8a5ca59e9a8b2c34863c54a3a9576599f69526 Signed-off-by: Edwin Kempin <ekempin@google.com>
Gerrit Code Review
Gerrit is a code review and project management tool for Git based projects.
Objective
Gerrit makes reviews easier by showing changes in a side-by-side display, and allowing inline comments to be added by any reviewer.
Gerrit simplifies Git based project maintainership by permitting any authorized user to submit changes to the master Git repository, rather than requiring all approved changes to be merged in by hand by the project maintainer.
