When a new comment is being added to a line, Gerrit checks to see if
there is an existing thread on the same line (and same range, if any) so
that the comment can be appended to it if so. Otherwise, a new thread is
created.
However, following I4f7804ac02, the logic to identify the appropriate
thread by range was refactored to not use range location strings, but
use range objects instead. Problematically, there were two flaws in this
code:
1) The range object references were compared rather than their values.
2) Only new threads were being rendered with their corresponding ranges
whereas existing threads were not.
As a result, if the user attempted to add a line comment on a line with
an existing ranged comment, the ranged comment's thread would be
identified as the destination (because the new comment has no range and
the existing thread's range was not being set). Appending the range-less
comment to a ranged thread resulted in incoherent data and the draft
would be unsavable.
With this change, the logic uses value equality to match ranges and the
`gr-diff-comment-thread-group#_getThreads` method is updated to set the
range on existing threads.

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.

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>]
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]
NOTE: release is optional. Last released package of the version is installed if the release number is omitted.
