==============================
Gerrit 2.0.8 is now available in the usual location:

*WARNING: This version contains a schema change.*
Schema upgrade:
java -jar gerrit.war --cat sql/upgrade006_007.sql | psql reviewdb

New Features

Bug Fixes

* Make sure only valid ObjectIds can be passed into git d...
* GERRIT-92 Upgrade JGit to 0.4.0-262-g3c268c8
