Some URLs (for example, comment links in Gerrit emails) specify the line number following an @-sign rather than in the hash using an octothorp because the URL is already mostly inside a hash (for backward compatibility with the GWT UI). When these URLs do not include the project name (as they currently do not in Gerrit emails) the project is loaded and the parsed route is "upgraded" to include the project. However, when generating the upgrade URL, the `_generateUrl` method looks for the `lineNum` and `leftSide` properties to generate the address. While the address specified by the @-sign is properly converted to an octothorp-hash before this point, it appears on the properties object as `hash`, and is thus ignored by `_generateUrl`. With this change, instead of passing the raw hash through the app params and parsing it in the `gr-diff-view`, the hash is parsed into its `leftSide` and `lineNum` values and attached to the `app.params` by the router. In this way, the location is preserved through URL upgrade, the param format used in navigation matches that used in URL generation and the diff view no longer parses the route.

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.
