This change is one step in the long path of reducing the git package to low-level utilities that build on top of JGit, with no or minimal dependency on Gerrit internals. Those classes should be moved to move to a package outside of server, such as com.google.gerrit.git, reducing the size of our monster target. VersionedMetaData is a candidate for such a low-level non-Gerrit-specific package, but unfortunately MetaDataUpdate in its current form is not: it depends on IdentifiedUser. Since VersionedMetaData and MetaDataUpdate are just read/write views of the same data, it makes sense to keep these classes together, in a package under com.google.gerrit.server. In this change, we use the package com.google.gerrit.server.git.meta; this is of course not set in stone, but we would prefer to keep it at least in the medium term because this rename affects a lot of files and downstream plugin callers.

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.

For information about how to install and use Gerrit, refer to the documentation.

On CentOS/RedHat run:
yum clean all && yum install gerrit-<version>[-<release>]
On Fedora run:
dnf clean all && dnf install gerrit-<version>[-<release>]
Use pre-built Gerrit images on Docker
Docker images of Gerrit are available on DockerHub
To run a CentOS 7 based Gerrit image:
docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritforge/gerrit-centos7[:version]
To run a Ubuntu 15.04 based Gerrit image:
docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritforge/gerrit-ubuntu15.04[:version]
