Each tag type requires a special permission for the tag creation: - Lightweight tags require 'Create Reference' - Annontated tags require 'Push Annotated Tag' - Signed tags require 'Push Signed Tag' This naming is inconsistent and may be confusing. E.g. whether tags can be updated is controlled by the 'Push' permission on 'refs/tags/*' and not by the 'Push Annotated/Signed Tag' permission, as some users might expect. This change includes a schema migration that renames the permissions for creating annotated/signed tags. Permission rules in project.config that use the old names are still respected. They are automatically converted when the project config is saved the next time. This is needed so that multi-master sites can do a multi-step-migration: 1. First upgrade all hosts to the new binary: Projects may still contain permissions with the old names, new permissions are saved with the new names. 2. Run a background job on all hosts that migrates the permissions for all projects to the new names: Projects do not contain permissions with the old names, new permissions are saved with the new names. 3. Upgrade all hosts to a binary that doesn't respect the old names anymore. The migration for schema 130 is rewritten because ProjectConfig no longer allows to change the force flag for 'pushTag' without converting it to 'createTag'.

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

The instruction how to configure GerritForge/BinTray repositories is here
On Debian/Ubuntu run:
apt-get update & apt-get install gerrit=<version>-<release>
NOTE: release is a counter that starts with 1 and indicates the number of packages that have been released with the same version of the software.
On CentOS/RedHat run:
yum clean all && yum install gerrit-<version>[-<release>]
NOTE: release is optional. Last released package of the version is installed if the release number is omitted.
