In the general case, we want to disable transparent compression, since the majority of our data transfer is highly compressed Git pack files and we cannot make them any smaller than they already are. However, if there are CPU in abundance and the server is reachable through slow networks; gits with huge amount of refs can benefit from SSH-compression since git does not compress the ref announcement during the handshake. Compression can be especially useful when Gerrit slaves are being used for the larger clones and fetches and the master server mostly takes small receive-packs. To enable compression use sshd.enableCompression in gerrit.config. Change-Id: I7ff9efd26e746db5f1400017816984d652585008
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.
