As Gerrit revision numbers establish a linear timeframe, it would be good to have the revision number in Gerrit bumped above the last SVN number. (at this time we are at r114357 so r114358 or maybe r120000 would be nice) This would certainly help with Bugzilla (bug 35144). Maybe even Special:Code could continue to show the latest patchset of the revision. It looks like only "change_id" sequence needs to be changed.
We've already discussed this, and the conclusion was "no, we're not going to do this."
May I ask why?
To paraphrase the IRC discussion, "not worth the effort."
It should be as simple as INSERT INTO change_id VALUES (120000); done from ssh -p 29418 gerrit.wikimedia.org gerrit gsql prompt
That would also work. I had proposed ALTER TABLE foo AUTO_INCREMENT = somereallybignumber;
Again. No. I don't want to keep rehashing this. There's no good reason to do this. The numbers aren't go to match up either way. All it does it make a huge gap in the change numbers we have in gerrit, and that's stupid.
