Repo manifest for different relative paths for git and review

Question

Is there any way to configure repo if there are different relative path for fetch and review.

Example

Fetch managed by gitweb : ssh://gitweb.foo.com/data/bar/foo.git
Review managed by gerrit : https://gerrit.foo.com:8081/review/bar/foo

With below manifest entries, fetch / sync works fine but repo upload fails as it looks up for https://gerrit.foo.com:8081/data/bar/foo.git and not 'https://gerrit.foo.com:8081/review/bar/foo.git'

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <manifest>
    <remote name="repo_name" fetch="ssh://gitweb.foo.com/" review="https://gerrit.foo.com:8081" />
    <project path="code/foo" name="data/bar/foo" remote="repo_name" />
  </manifest>

What would be the right way to point gerrit review with a path, in repo manifest file.

Answer 1

<project path="code/foo" name="data/bar/foo" remote="repo_name" />

For manifest file of repo, the path attribute of project element is used to specify the folder where the project will be clone to, i.e your worktree folder, the name attribute will be appended to remote url for specifying the remote repository. It seems you mix the usage of path attribute and name atribute in project element.

You can refer manifest-format for more details of manifest file.

Answer 2

for my project, not same as yours, but maybe help you

make an example: my manifests.xml: review=http://192.168.100.100:8081

one of my project fetch url = http://192.168.100.100:8081/nathan/zhao/xxx/yyy/zzz

so when using repo upload : repo upload xxx/yyy/zzz will push to http://192.168.100.100:8081/xxx/yyy/zzz

and 2 methods to fix this

first one: not using any relate path to your project, for example when create your project , change nathan/zhao/xxx/yyy/zzz to xxx/yyy/zzz

second one: using ssh path(this one is WORKING for my gerrit server): review="ssh://192.168.100.100:29418/nathan/zhao"

and then using repo upload full url will be ssh://192.168.100.100:29418/nathan/zhao/xxx/yyy/zzz
