This is useful only for installations that use reftables, for example, googlesource.com, which can directly use PermissionBackend.RefFilterOptions. Currently, DefaultRefFilter filters the input and specifically for refs/changes it filters it by returning only the available changes in the change index and cache (all the most recent changes). However, if no refs/changes are sent to this method, no refs/changes are returned. This change adds an option that when the option is set to true, DefaultRefFilter ignores refs/changes sent as input, and always anyway returns all changes available in the change index and cache (which are the most recent changes). For Elastic and googlesource.com, the limit is 10000 changes, but this could be different. This is useful since in some instances, there are O(millions) of refs/changes. This change allows us not to send those millions of refs/changes as input in the first place. Tests include sending as input 0,1, and many refs (since those are all separate code paths) and also with or without refs/* permission, which is another code path that allows all refs to be returned.

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>]
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 8 based Gerrit image:
docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritcodereview/gerrit[:version]-centos8
To run a Ubuntu 20.04 based Gerrit image:
docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritcodereview/gerrit[:version]-ubuntu20
NOTE: release is optional. Last released package of the version is installed if the release number is omitted.
